Dior's "New Look" ushered in the glory years for Haute Couture fashion

Under the influence of the New Look, followed by the “H,” the “A” and the “Y” lines suggestive of balloons, trapezoids and sheaths, the 50’s were the glory years for Haute Couture as well as the rapid growth of Italian and French fashion. This new decade ushered in victory with women wearing nylon, imitating Debbie Reynolds wearing red lipstick and eyeliner, the arrival of feminine curves in fashion with the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and the season of full-busted "poor but beautiful" women on both sides of the Atlantic.
