Marc Bohan replaced Yves Saint Laurent at the House of Dior in 1960. His early collections centered on the introduction of a new silhouette each season – an idea that originated with Christian Dior himself. This ensemble was part of Bohan’s “Slim Look” collection. Although he was rarely considered a trendsetter, his designs were commercially successful.
