Christian Dior (1905-1957) was born
in Normandy, France. At his parents' insistence, he studied political
science. After military service and several years of indecision,
he returned to Paris in 1935 and began his design career by selling
sketches. His hat designs were initially more successful than
his dress designs. But he concentrated on his dress designs and
was hired by Robert Piguet in 1938. During the war, Dior served
in the South of France, then returned again to Paris in 1941 and
worked for Lucien Lelong, a much larger design house. In 1946,
he was able to open his own house, backed by textile manufacturer
Marcel Boussac. For his first collection in 1947, Christian Dior created the extremely popular "New Look", which featured
rounded shoulders, a cinched waist, and a very full skirt. Dior created an opulent clothing style which contrasted the severe
living conditions of post-war France.
Currently,
Dior operates 60 boutiques worldwide, 15 of them in Japan. Clothing
is exclusively sold in the Dior stores. Other retailers only carry
licensed Dior products like eye-wear, lingerie, ties, Bady Dior
clothing, perfumes, and other accessories. Since LVMH acquired
in 1997 the Duty Free Shoppers (DFS) group of stores, which are
mostly located in Asia, the Dior distribution has been expanded
to the 165 DFS-outlets.
