Ruth Bell + Selena Forrest Channel Teddy Girls In Brigitte Niedermair Images For Dior Fall 2019 Campaign

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s feminist message for Christian Dior marches forward into fall celebrating the 1950s Teddy Girls rebellious spirit British subculture. The Teddy Girls more androgynous style represented a turning away from the elegantly feminine New Look from Dior, a style that directed women back home after their much-needed working women stint during WWII.

Models Ruth Bell and Selena Forrest lead the Fall 2019 Dior campaign, lensed by Brigitte Niedermair. For anyone who considered Chiuri’s feminist positioning for Dior a fashion trend or phase, think again. The creative director’s feminist voice is here to stay, and she won’t be pulling a 180-turn for Dior any time soon.
