CHRISTIAN DIOR Ladies (2) Button Luxury Wool Check Blazer

Amazing One of a kind Vintage DIOR Piece Christian Dior was a French couturier, best known for his eponymous fashion house which is often referred to as just Dior. Born in the seaside town of Granville on the coast of Normandy in 1905, he was the son of a wealthy fertilizer manufacturer and was one of five children. Aged five, he moved with his family to Paris. Although his parents had hopes of him becoming a diplomat, Dior was artistically inclined and began to sell his sketches on the street to make pocket money. Upon leaving school, Dior took over a small art gallery that his father bought for him, where he and a friend sold work by artists including Pablo Picasso. At the end of his service in 1942, he began working for couturier Lucien Long, where he and Pierre Balmain were the primary designers. During the war, Lelong - like other French ateliers including Jeanne Lanvin and Nina Ricci - dressed the wives of officers and French collaborators as a way of preserving the fashion industry throughout the conflict for both economic and artistic reasons. Dior established a luxury ready-to-wear house on the corner of 5th Avenue and 57th Street in New York in November 1948. It was the first of its kind. In 1955, the 19-year-old Yves Saint Laurent became Dior's design assistant. Christian Dior later met with YSL's mother to tell her that he had chosen Saint Laurent to succeed him at Dior. & Paste the Links below: https://youtu.be/mtiaFW0vT9w https://youtu.be/Nrdnvk_uZTo
