The Famous French Collection

Christian Dior launched the New Look in 1947 - nipped waists, rounded shoulders, full skirts below the knee. After a decade of wartime austerity, it stopped the fashion world cold. A decade of international celebrity followed.

Then came the H line, the A line, the Y line. Each one redefining what a silhouette could be.

He never opened a couture show without consulting his tarot reader. Every collection included a coat named after his birthplace, Granville. Every runway had at least one model carrying a bouquet of lily of the valley, his favorite flower.

​

He died in 1957. The house he built is still standing.
