In 1947, when Christian Dior' s model spun her wasp-waisted skirt and tipped a hat over one eye, the iconic designer became an instant celebrity. His groundbreaking "new look" was quintessentially Parisian-the perfect combination of fanciful and elegant that glorified the female form and seduced his international clientele. Yet it was by mere chance that Dior-hapless in the face of personal and professional tragedy-met a friendly priest who helped him to rebuild his faith and to find the strength to chart his glorious destiny. He went on to upend the downtrodden post-war era with his joie de vivre and his pursuit of a single goal: to make women "not only more beautiful, but happier" through the proportions of his marvelous designs and a color palette that reflected the Parisian sky. Today, the legacy of this witty yet staunchly private man shines on as his intuitive creativity continues to inspire the House of Dior' s designers to empower the woman of tomorrow through their creations.
Marie-France Pochna is an expert on fashion and trends in the luxury market, and a professor and TV producer. She has published biographies on the House of Dior' s founder Mr. Boussac, Gianni Agnelli, and Nina Ricci and is the recognized authority on Dior.
