Vintage Christian Dior Nymølle Denmark Fashion & Hosiery Plate
A wonderfully whimsical piece of 1970s fashion history, this vintage Nymølle Denmark plate celebrates the changing styles of hosiery and legwear through the ages.
Created for Christian Dior’s hosiery line, the plate takes the viewer on a playful journey through fashion history. Its detailed illustrations depict different periods of legwear and fashion, including Queen Elizabeth I and Tudor England, creating a fascinating timeline that combines fashion, history and advertising.
The artwork gives the plate plenty to discover, with each historical figure illustrating the changing fashions and styles of hosiery through the centuries. The result feels much more like a piece of illustrated fashion history than a conventional advertising plate.
This 1970–1971 Christian Dior plate comes from Nymølle Denmark and forms part of a series of advertising Christmas plates created to promote the Christian Dior hosiery range. Its distinctive subject matter makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Christian Dior, vintage fashion, hosiery memorabilia, Nymølle ceramics and Scandinavian design.
At approximately 7.5 inches (19cm) in diameter, it would look wonderful displayed on a wall, shelf or plate stand. The detailed artwork also makes it an interesting conversation piece for anyone fascinated by the history of fashion.
