Collections | Christian Dior
Founded in 1947, the House at 30, Avenue Montaigne, near the Champs-Elysées, Dior is synonymous with the unavoidable new look and the image of the eternal Parisian woman with her fine shoulders and narrow waist. In the space of ten years, from 1947 to 1957 (the date of his death), Christian Dior succeeded in creating a fashion house whose name is famous the world over.
The "CD" set within a Louis XVI style medallion is more than a trademark, it is a legend. The House of Dior was bought up in 1987; today, it belongs to the world's leading manufacturer of luxury goods, the Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy Group. The artistic directorship of the fashion house is now in the hands of the Italian Gian Franco Ferré for whom "Dior is the Watteau of couturiers, full of nuances, delicate and chic." |
