Abstract
The variety of silhouettes is one of main features of Christian Dior’s creativity. The aim of presented paper is a study and analysis of the silhouettes of Christian Dior for determination of connection between a silhouette and the body form and presentation of a silhouette with simple geometric forms. The silhouettes of Christian Dior in his couture collections in the period between 1947 and 1957 are studied, analysed and approximated with combination of well-known simple geometric forms - curved forms of ellipses, ovals, circles, full figures or their parts, and straight ones of rectangles and trapeziums. The investigation of the silhouettes with the application of approximation with well-known simple geometric forms helps the students in their studies in fashion. The approximated geometric approach helps the activity of fashion designers and pattern makers in their creations of new silhouette forms and their proportions to the human body.
