Abstract

The two world wars in the 20th century had a great impact on the European clothing industry, and to some extent, they also promoted the development of fashion industry. European designers have designed "wartime clothes" to meet the needs of women's work and life during the war. "Wartime clothing" is a breakthrough and development of traditional clothing, and its unique characteristics shine brilliantly in wartime. In order to liberate the people from the shadow of war after the war, Dior's "new look" was a booster for the fashion industry market facing the crisis at that time. The raging war still didn't interrupt the fashion industry, which also reflected people's yearning for a peaceful life and their helplessness to the cold life during wartime.
