Think Pink!

All the Valentine's Day things about have me singing that old song "Think Pink" from the Audrey Hepburn movie "Funny Face"!Think Pink!

Think pink! think pink! when you shop for summer clothes. 
Think pink! think pink! if you want that quel-que chose. 
Red is dead, blue is through, 
Green's obscene, brown's taboo. 
And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce 
—or chartreuse. 
Think pink! forget that Dior says black and rust. 
Think pink! who cares if the new look has no bust. 
Now, I wouldn't presume to tell a woman 
what a woman oughtta think, 
But tell her if she's gotta think: think pink—!

Vintage Dior

Vintage Dior

Christian Dior's reputation as one of the most important couturiers of the twentieth century was launched in 1947 with his very first collection, in which he introduced the "New Look." Featuring rounded shoulders, a cinched waist, and very full skirt, the New Look celebrated ultra-femininity and opulence in women's fashion. After years of military and civilian uniforms, sartorial restrictions and shortages, Dior offered not merely a new look but a new outlook.  -  from - The Metropolitan Museum of Art
