Discover The Details Behind Dior

Today, Dior is synonymous with “luxury”. It embodies everything that is fabulous, glamorous and elegant about the fashion industry—and for that reason alone, it stands apart as one of the most legendary clothing labels of all time. But do you know how it came to be so?

Read on to discover the history behind the fashion house’s eminence.

The Man Behind It All

Christian Dior, the French designer behind the eponymous label, started the brand in 1946. Entrepreneur Marcel Boussac, who was the richest man in France at the time, had asked Dior to work for Paris fashion house Philippe et Gaston. When Dior refused, because he was eager to launch his own fashion brand, Boussac agreed to give him his blessing (and, more importantly, his financial backing) to do so. Hence, Dior was born.

The New Look

Christian Dior launched his first collection to much acclaim. When Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Carmel Snow’s reaction was “It’s such a new look!”, the legendary nature of Dior was cemented. The “New Look” consisted of a cinched waist billowing into a full-skirted silhouette, which was dramatically different from the solemnity of post-WWII fashion to that date. The style influenced other fashion designers and Hollywood celebrities alike and contributed significantly to the resurgence of Paris as a major fashion capital.

The Perfumes

As if it wasn’t enough to rock the fashion world, the luxury group started coming out with scents. Now the popularity of perfumes like Miss Dior and J’adore rivals that of any leading perfume brand, and boasts an impressive catalogue of brand ambassadors like Natalie Portman and Charlize Theron.

The history behind the brand is the reason the name is today associated with all things elegant and luxurious. Be a part of that legacy in Dior clothing.
