Christian Dior

Dior was the founder of one of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world. He worked at a fashion shop during WWII and dressed the spouses of Nazi troops. In 1946, he started the Christian Dior fashion company with the help of a cotton-fabric mogul. His debut collection featured a line named Corolle, which was quickly panned by ladies because to the gowns’ coverage of their legs. Furthermore, many people objected to the large number of textiles necessary for a single outfit. But, after the wartime shortages passed, all opposition faded, and Dior fashion transformed women’s clothing, reestablishing Paris as the fashion capital once more.
