Inspired by avante-garde, the American innovations took over as artists used rejected and non-decorative approaches, creating a simplistic and popular acceptance. Artists emerged from all corners, such as Christian Dior. Yes he is french, but he still made a large impact in fashion and design world. Below, is his 40's and 50's new look, simplistic designs. The obvious parts of Dior's designs in this time were tightfitting pieces, and skirts and dresses following straight lines, most of the time incorporated together. In 1950 he created a new style, The Sailor suit. (the last one)
Sensitive to his surroundings, and creating a new way of designing, Frank Lloyd Wright was one of the most influential, famous architectures in the design world of 1940's and 50's, and since he began his career. In the long time he lived (92 years) Wright had created some of the most beautiful architectural pieces in time, using the natural landscaped surroundings as his inspiration. He began architecture at the age of 18, studying and practicing his skills. By age 26, he began his own practice. He used an architectural language that was unique to the United States, and no look to the Europeans. He created homes...
