Though his life was relatively short, Christian Ernest Dior's
seismic influence on the fashion world ensures his name lives on as
one of the most successful and celebrated designers of all time.
Using the rationing restrictions of wartime, he created designs
that extenuated the female figure and released the women of the

powerful allies, Christian Dior may not have had to scrap his way
to the top as Coco Chanel did, but his talent is no less worthy and
his legacy as one of the world's greatest designers is no less
deserving. 'My dream? To make women happier and more beatiiful.' As
seen on Living in Fifties Fashion, 'Salute Mr Dior'
