Dior, Christian (1905-1957), French couturier, born in Granville, and
educated for the diplomatic service at the École des Sciences Politiques
in Paris. He began working in the fashion industry in the 1930s and
opened his own salon in Paris in 1946. In 1947 he introduced the
so-called New Look, featuring narrow shoulders and calf-length, full
skirts in place of the broad shoulders and short, straight skirts of the World War II years. The New Look
revolutionized women’s dress and reestablished Paris as the center of the fashion world. Later Dior designs,
such as the straight sack dress, continued to hold a leading role in international fashion. At the time of his
death, Dior salons had been opened in 24 countries. The Dior firm—successively led by designers Yves
Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, and John Galliano—continued to be a fashion leader and
was associated with a much wider range of merchandise, including menswear and household linens.
