Information
When Christian Dior opened his fashion house in October 1946, he was 41 years old and had already lived several lives. After a sheltered childhood in Granville, Normandy, he opened his art gallery in Paris, then learned the trade of model making from Lucien Lelong. These experiences will forge his culture and shape his tastes. In this post-war context of deprivation and rationing, Dior has only one obsession; to bring joy, elegance and beauty back to women. In just ten years, from 1947 to 1957, Christian Dior revolutionized the codes of elegance and femininity, imagining collections like dreams and enchantments. He was an architect who offered women his vision of beauty through elegant silhouettes, to the point where he became synonymous throughout the world with French-style luxury.
