Dior

Dior, officially known as Christian Dior SE, is a luxury fashion house founded in 1946 by the French designer Christian Dior. The brand quickly rose to international fame after launching its debut collection in 1947, famously known as the “New Look.” This groundbreaking style redefined post-war fashion with its cinched waists, full skirts, and ultra-feminine silhouettes, symbolizing a return to opulence and elegance after years of wartime austerity. The success of this collection established Dior as a central figure in haute couture and revolutionized women’s fashion, marking the beginning of the modern fashion industry as we know it. Over the decades, Dior expanded its influence beyond haute couture into ready-to-wear, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances, creating an empire synonymous with luxury, sophistication, and innovation. Iconic figures such as Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri have all brought their unique vision to the brand as creative directors. Under Chiuri’s leadership, Dior has embraced feminist themes, blending tradition with contemporary issues and making bold statements on the runway. From its Parisian roots to its global presence, Dior continues to shape fashion and culture with a balance of classic elegance and modern creativity. background - Wikimeida / By Frédéric BISSON from Rouen, France - Décorations de Noel de la boutique Dior, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=53156620
