Christian Dior


Christian Dior was born in France into a wealthy business family. His father worked in the fertilizer industry. Madeleine, his mother, was a sweet, elegant, and dignified woman. Dior's continual creation has always been inspired by his mother's gorgeous image. The young Mr. Dior loves painting. In his childhood, Dior also put on his own makeup and clothes with angel wings, and he himself decorated his clothes with shells. Artistic inspiration and aesthetic taste have gradually formed and deeply rooted in the heart of the young Mr. Dior.
However, his parents disdained Mr. Dior's persistent pursuit and hobby of art and beauty. From 1920 to 1925, Dior was forced to follow the wishes of his family to enter the School of Science and Politics to study political science in order to become a diplomat or inherit his father in the future. When he graduated from the Paris Institute of Political Science, his father finally resisted his interest and determination and helped him open a gallery. However, the good times did not last long. In 1931, my father went bankrupt, and the gallery had no financial resources and had to stop. Subsequently, his beloved mother also died, which dealt a heavy blow to Mr. Dior. In 1935, Dior had to search for job opportunities from small advertisements in newspapers every day. He did not have a fixed address, sometimes lived with friends, sometimes slept on the street, had a hungry meal, and finally got tuberculosis. One day, when Dior was deeply frustrated because he couldn't find a job, a friend in the fashion industry suggested that he draw some fashion design drawings, but it was very popular. Each design shows his unique talent.
In 1937, he finally became a fashion designer of "Pignet" company. At this time, when World War II broke out, Dior was forced to leave Paris. When he returned to Paris, the position of the company's fashion designer had been replaced by others, so he had to become an assistant. With his talent, he was soon promoted from a junior assistant to a first-class designer. In 1947, the Dior brand was officially established, and Mr. Dior exhibited his first fashion collection in a special store on the Rue Montaigne in Paris. When 90 models appeared in front of people in A-shaped lines in those waist jackets and wide-length skirts, people were shocked. In 1949, the autumn and winter fashion series was launched, and more than 1,200 orders for skirts were received within 8 days, which was almost a sales miracle in the fashion industry at that time. In 1953, the bottom of the skirt was raised to 40 centimeters from the ground, causing an uproar in European society. Over the past ten years, every series designed by Mr. Dior has been elegant and noble, showing feminine charm. Mr. Dior died of heart disease in 1957. Since then, every designer has adhered to Mr. Dior's consistent pursuit of quality, elegant, fashionable and feminine design style and innovative design spirit.
