Christian Dior
Christian Dior was a pioneering French fashion designer who revolutionized women's fashion with his iconic 'New Look' collection in 1947. Born in 1905, Dior defied his father's wishes to pursue a career in diplomacy, instead channeling his artistic talents into fashion. His designs emphasized femininity, featuring cinched waists and full skirts, which contrasted sharply with the utilitarian styles of the wartime era. Despite facing criticism from feminists and contemporaries alike, Dior became a leading figure in haute couture, leaving a lasting legacy in the industry upon his untimely death in 1957.
Born on Jan 21, 1905 (120 years old)
