N is for Net, Nylon and Nonsense in The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior.
It seems Net is an ideal material for romantic evening dresses and needs to be used in large quantities. Nylon on the other hand is less suitable for dresses, except for beach and sport clothes.
Nonsense is quite humourous...apparently "too many women forget that even the most extreme fashion must be sensible in a way". I wonder what Dior would make of recent fashion weeks with this viewpoint as he states he
"dislikes trick fashions - designed only for publicitiy's sake. They may be eye-catching but they are never elegant"
I'm inclined to agree with him! 😊
