His visionary spirit never ceased to make women all over the world feel more beautiful, an inspiration for his successors to this day. “Fabric is the sole vehicle of our dreams (...). Fashion, in short, comes from a dream and the dream is an escape from reality,” he wrote in his book Je suis couturier**. Over the course of his collections, Monsieur Dior became the master of his muses’ happiness.
