Christian Dior will always have a special place in French fashion and beyond. Born in Granville, a coastal town in Normandy, Christian Dior was in his 40s when he made fashion history. His creations, such as waist ties, full skirts, defined post-war fashion in the 1940s. Many of his outfits, considered ultra-feminine, were tailored and served as inspiration for many artists.
