Dior
Founded by Christian Dior, born January 1905, the fashion house was established in December 1946 at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Dior’s first collection launched on February 12th for Spring / Summer 1947 at the company’s head quarters. An instant success, Harper’s Bazaar Editor-In-Chief Carmel Snow strongly believed in Dior’s talent. “It’s quite a revolution, dear Christian! Your dresses have such a new look,” she exclaimed. Thus, the “New Look” became a trademark. Introducing unique silhouettes consisting of shorter, fuller skirts, tighter waists, and accentuated busts – Dior’s pieces were revolutionary, especially in the 40s.
Although time continues to progress and changes in the fashion industry are always occurring, Dior continues to produce beautiful, timeless pieces that remain innovative and original. Truly a brand with a fascinating backstory, Dior remains one of the most prominent and important fashion houses of our time.
