Christian Dior
Christian Dior was a French fashion designer who founded the House of Dior in 1946 and revolutionized postwar fashion with his "New Look"—full skirts, cinched waists, soft shoulders.
The name now refers to the luxury fashion house itself: She wore vintage Dior to the gala.
Dior encompasses haute couture, ready-to-wear, fragrances, and cosmetics.
