Christian Dior Biography


Today's lesson is on Mr. Christian (ABC's of fashion himself) Dior. He who "designed flower women" mastered the skirt and took women out of those horrid flapper dresses.

He created "the new look" by offering the world a shape in clothing that gave words such as, the hourglass, voluptous and curvy new meaning. Dior's clothing had edgy shoulders, tiny waists and covered the knee giving women eloquence and style. Dior's creations infuriated some as his piece's were said to have too much fabric and during WWII it caused much controversy as there were shortages in material all around.

Famed for his precisely tailored suits and establishment of the A-line, Dior's couture house currently lives through the breath of ultra-fierce creative director John Galiiano.
