Christian Ernest Dior
(1905 - 1957) France

Fashion designer
French couturier, he established his own Paris salon in 1947, and made an impact with the "New Look" - long and full-skirted after wartime austerity.
After its founder's death, the "Maison Dior" continued and widened its activity with pret-à-porter and lines for men and children.
