A short biography on Christian Dior whose brief career revolutionized the fashion industry and changed the way women expressed their femininity through luxury ready-to-wear clothes.
Christian Dior opened his own design house in 1946 and revolutionized fashion with his first collection. His "new look" in 1947 accentuated a woman's femininity by offering dresses with sloped shoulders and tapered waistlines. In his mere decade-long career, he went on to dress the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly, and Marlene Dietrich.
