We invite you to a dinner lecture on April 24th, Thursday, at 7:00 PM, featuring Daria Ermakova—a history teacher with 8 years of experience teaching in Moscow schools, now inspiring adults with her passion for history.

In this lecture, we’ll discuss how Chanel and Dior changed the world.

Fashion is more than just clothing; it’s a reflection of the spirit of the times, intricately connected to historical events. In this lecture, we’ll dive into the world of two iconic figures of the 20th century—Coco Chanel and Christian Dior—who radically transformed the perception of fashion and clothing in the post-war period.

• How did revolutionary societal changes and the aftermath of the two World Wars influence style and beauty ideals?
• Why did Coco Chanel become a symbol of freedom and elegance, inspiring women to abandon corsets and stereotypes?
• How did Christian Dior create his famous “New Look” collection, which brought femininity and sophistication back to fashion after the harsh years of war?
• What kind of people were Chanel and Dior? How did they express themselves during World War II?

We’ll explore how Chanel and Dior not only pushed the boundaries of fashion but also reflected changes in social structures, the role of women in society, and the economy in their collections. You’ll learn how the war and its consequences shaped perceptions of beauty and femininity, and how designers adapted fashion to new realities, aiming to give women confidence and status.
