Christian Dior

Dior's career came at the fulcrum of the twentieth century. He successfully combined the historicism of the late-nineteenth-century Belle Epoque with the aesthetic and technical innovations of his own time. In Dior's works, what outwardly seems sheer romance and poetry is strengthened by structural underpinnings that demonstrate deep knowledge of craft. And while each collection is individualized even by name, the overall work created during the eleven years Dior built his art can be seen as a unit of interwoven development. From the inception of The New Look on February 12, 1947, until the designer's death in 1957, Dior was the definitive force in fashion. In addition, his corpus was to become an overriding influence on subsequent fashion.

  • "Le 12 février 1947, Christian Dior entre dans la postérité en imposant une nouvelle silhouette : ce "new look" de l'après-guerre ressuscita l'art de vivre. Premier couturier à fonder l'industrie de luxe, son nom symbolise le goût et l'élégance propre à la culture française."
