Christian Dior

When discussing the most well-known French fashion designers, Christian Dior should not be overlooked. Christian Dior began his career as an assistant designer to Robert Piquet, and is often regarded with spreading French fashion to the rest of the globe. After WWII, he established his own couture house and soared to global prominence, owing largely to his revolutionary design, called the "New Look." He wanted to help women regain elegance and delight in the postwar era of depression, offering a more feminine form, corrected shoulders and a full A-line skirt, all of which were fairly revolutionary at the time. Dior remained a major fashion figure until his death in 1957.

Dior has demonstrated boundless ingenuity in the collections that have been published. He was continuously coming up with new designs, especially the long dress style with round shoulders, which caused a fashion revolution in the post-war period. Christian Dior's style has always emphasized femininity and grace, which is also a guiding element in today's Dior devices. Although there have been significant contributions to the history of fashion, Dior always claims to do it out of passion, because dreams constantly burn with a blazing smile.

Dior has been one of the most famous and revered designers throughout the last two centuries. Christian Dior was a sweetheart. He understood women, adored the feminine side of fashion, and his name became synonymous with refinement and luxury. The House of Dior epitomizes Haute Couture Francaise: delicate, refined, and full of personality.
