Christian Dior was a renowned French fashion designer and the founder of the iconic fashion house that shares his name. Born in Granville, France, Dior rose to prominence in the post-World War II era with his revolutionary "New Look" silhouette, characterized by a nipped waist, full skirts, and a focus on feminine elegance. His designs marked a departure from the wartime austerity, introducing a luxurious and extravagant aesthetic that redefined fashion in the 1950s. The launch of his first collection in 1947 not only revitalized the Parisian fashion scene but also established Dior as a leading figure in haute couture. Beyond his contributions to fashion, Christian Dior played a pivotal role in shaping the modern fashion industry, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence designers and fashion enthusiasts worldwide.
