Thro history, women have always been tried to be removed from their self by isolating from their cultures. However, in virtue of the constant self-renewing trends in fashion, the fields where women can freely reflect their physical and personal characteristics continued to be renewed even under challenging conditions of the period. Notwithstanding restrictions during the wartime, a great example of this self-renewing trend in fashion had been the Corolle collection created by Christian Dior, who managed to inspire many famous designers by making magnificent, excellent designs. The aim of this study is to analyze the design features, usage styles and reflected "meaning" and "understanding" phases of the "Bar" model in Christian Dior's New Look trend "Corolle" collection through the widely accepted semiotics method of Ronald Barthes. In the study, based on Barthes' distinguishing matrix, the signs are explained with the oppositions of signifier/signified, syntagm/paradigm, denotation/connotation and the correlation between myths and interpretation is emphasized and interpreted. As a result of research, the "denotation" which is in the first plane of meaning, it has been determined that all of the indicators have a relationship between the signifier and the signified, and that the indicator is similar to its real object. It is understood that in this model Dior has created a meaningful whole with syntactic connection by relating clothing pieces with different functions to each other. In the connotation and in the syntagmatic relationship, it has been observed that the rules regulating the combination of parts change the meaning of the clothing. In addition, it has been observed that the expression of the meanings of the words and the different levels of interpretation in all signs are associated with the myths.
