The Christian Dior Story

Today Christian Dior Stores can be found in Paris, Milan, Rome, New York, Tokyo, Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, Madrid, New Delhi, Barcelona, Rome, London and Shanghai, but it wasn’t always so. Christian Dior was born in 1905 in Normandy France. His family, who owned a fertilizer company, hoped that he would become a politician, but Dior was more interested in the arts.

He studied political science in college to please his parents, but afterwards Dior decided to open an art gallery and sell paintings. The family business suffered losses causing him to have to close the gallery. Later he worked with Robert Piguet and was a primary designer along with Pierre Balmain. Finally in the mid forties he went into business again as a designer.

During WWII fashion style had turned boxy and conservative, Dior changed that by becoming more voluptuous with busty bodices and these new designs were what drew peoples attention. Today Dior shoes, accessories and fashion are among the most sophisticated, elite, and elegant around.
