  • Christian Dior founds his fashion house in Paris

    The wealthy Frenchman Marcel Boussac, one of the richest men in France at the time, helps the young Christian Dior open his fashion house. With an initial capital of 6 million francs and 85 employees, Dior was given an almost unlimited credit in Boussac's vertical textile company.

  • The "New Look" revolutionizes women's fashion

    His first line revolutionizes women's fashion. Carmel Snow of Harper's Bazaar calls it the "New Look" - a term that would come to define the design of the collections that Dior himself calls Ligne Corolle ("Flower Cup Line") and En 8. Characteristic are the extravagant, fine fabrics that always emphasize the feminine silhouette: The waist is narrow, the hips accentuated, the bodice tight and figure-hugging. Dior's fashion is thus a clear departure from the war years, and within a few years becomes an absolute worldwide success.

  • "Miss Dior" as the first Daamen perfume

    After Dior founded Parfums Christian Dior in March and appointed his childhood friend Serge Heftler-Louiche as director, the first perfume, "Miss Dior," was launched in December and remains a classic to this day. This set the stage for the designer's concept of "total beauty," which was followed by makeup, lipsticks, and a complete skincare ian Dior Ltd. owns 25% of the shares in the perfume division, which is headed by Serge Heftler Louiche, while the manager of Coty Perfumes owns 35% and Boussac 40%.

  • Expansion to New York

    "How did I get to know my friends? Through those mysterious laws that Goethe called elective affinities. We were just a simple gathering of painters, writers, musicians, and designers, under the aegis of Jean Cocteau and Max Jacob."
