Dior

Fashion designer Christian Dior was born in France and gained immense prominence in the fashion world with the creation of the "New Look"—voluminous dresses that highlighted a woman's curvy feminine shape. Dior's early career saw him working with renowned fashion figures of the mid-twentieth century. He began his journey in the fashion industry with Robert Piguet and later collaborated with Pierre Balmain while working at Lucien Lelong. In 1947, Dior introduced the revolutionary "New Look," which marked a dramatic shift from the simple, fabric-conserving styles of World War II. This new style was characterized by its lavish use of fabric and emphasis on a cinched waist and full skirt. The "New Look" not only transformed women's fashion but also played a crucial role in re-establishing Paris as a global fashion capital, influencing the industry's direction for decades to come.
