The New Look Revolution
Christian Dior revolutionized post-war fashion with his debut 1947 collection, famously dubbed the ‘New Look’ by Harper’s Bazaar editor Carmel Snow. The cinched waists and full skirts were a dramatic departure from wartime austerity, instantly establishing Dior as a beacon of Parisian elegance. The house has since become synonymous with haute couture craftsmanship and refined femininity.
Creative Evolution
Following Christian Dior’s untimely death in 1957, the house has been led by a succession of legendary designers including Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and currently Maria Grazia Chiuri for women’s and Kim Jones for men’s. Each has reimagined the Dior codes while respecting the founder’s vision of architectural elegance.
A Complete Luxury Universe
Under the leadership of Delphine Arnault, Dior has become one of the fastest-growing luxury brands globally. The Maison encompasses couture, ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, accessories, jewelry, watches, fragrances, and beauty, with Dior Beauty being one of the world’s leading prestige cosmetics brands.
