CHRISTIAN DIOR

“Qualsiasi cosa facciate, per lavoro o per piacere, fatelo con passione! Vivete con passione…” scriveva Christian Dior.Prima ancora di immaginare la sua carriera da stilista, Christian Dior era affascinato dall’arte. Per questo motivo, il giovane di origine normanne, circondato dai suoi amici, diventa gallerista a 23 anni. Nel 1938 impara il mestiere di modellista al fianco di Robert Piguet, poi tre anni dopo si lancia nello stilismo, lavorando per Lucien Lelong. Una volta fondata la sua Maison nel 1946, Dior trasforma i suoi sogni in splendide creazioni, in grado di portare un po’ di luce e gioia agli anni bui della guerra appena terminata. Il suo spirito visionario non ha mai smesso di sublimare i look delle donne di tutto il mondo. In soli dieci anni, Monsieur Dior rivoluziona i codici dell’eleganza e della femminilità, immaginando e dando vita a collezioni da sogno.
