Dior Coat S

Yes, Christian Dior and Dior are the same. The French couturier Christian Dior founded his eponymous house in 1946. The brand is commonly known as simply Dior.

After seven years as an art dealer in Paris, the Granville-born Dior retrained as a fashion illustrator, eventually landing a job as a fashion designer for Robert Piguet, and in 1941, following a year of military service, he joined the house of Lucien Lelong. Just five years later, with the backing of industrialist Marcel Boussac, the ascendant Dior established his own fashion house, at 30 avenue Montaigne in Paris.

Dior's New Look — the silhouette introduced by the couturier with his first namesake collection in 1947 — featured gowns characterized by soft, rounded shoulders; a prominent bust; waspish waistlines; and long, voluminous skirts. Dior’s work definitively declared that opulence was in, and his return to a “pretty,” highly feminized style was a direct reaction to years of wartime austerity.

To tell a sport coat from a suit coat, consider its overall look. Suit coats are more likely to be solid-colored or have very understated patterns, such as fine pinstripes. On the other hand, sport coats may show off prints, unique buttons, patches on the elbows and other bold features that make them stylish picks for casual occasions. If the jacket comes with a coordinating pair of pants in an identical fabric, it is also usually a suit coat, as sport coats are typically solid separately.

The term princess coat gets its name from the distinctive seams that run vertically over the bust, one down each side. In the late 1930s, these coats featured a more fitted skirt but as time went on they became more full-skirted. Shop a collection of princess coats from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

A quilted coat is a coat with a signature patterned design and puffy sections between the stitching. The “quilted” descriptor usually refers to visible quilting. It is also known as a puffer jacket. Quilted jackets are filled with down insulation or, alternatively, with synthetic fibers. These garments are said to keep you warm because they trap air due to the layers stitched together to form the classic quilted pattern.
