Christian Dior

One of history’s most famous designers, Christian Dior’s legacy continues to live on in luxury cosmetics and perfume, modern accessories and spectacular clothing. His vision for a breakthrough in women’s fashion changed the face of style forever.

From his debut collection in 1947, atelier Christian Dior launched a ‘New Look.’ Focused on glamorous lines and feminine, hourglass silhouettes, the small waists and big skirts of this line came to define a decade.

His brand soon became global: reviving glamour and joy in fashion after the War, he made his name as a sought-after couturier.

Like film star Rita Hayworth, the British Royal Family were enamoured by the critically-acclaimed collection and were thus treated to their own private preview at Blenheim Palace.

Throughout his career, Dior continued to charm clients old and new with his dresses and other glam creations. On his death in 1957, Yves Saint Laurent took the reins of the house and continued the pedigree of excellence on from his predecessor.

John Galliano has also designed for the Parisian House. Today, Dior is helmed by its first female Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri. Her designs are forward-thinking and incorporate feminism. Celebrity fans of the label include Mick Jagger, Madonna and Charlize Theron.
