Christian Dior was born in the year 1905, in France ,in Granville. Dior lived in this town until he was about 5 years old, and then he moved with his family for Paris, France.
Christian Dior fell upon hard times, with the untimely death of both his mother and his brother, and he moved to the Soviet Union. He was hurting very bad financially, so an old-time friend of him gave him a place to stay and he also helped him start his career sketching dresses and hats.
Christian Dior started to sell his sketches, and some famous actresses loved them and purchased them.
After his first collection, Christian Dior sat long and hard and tried to think what the women of Paris would want as the next big thing in their fashionable clothing. He wanted to make the women feel like flowers again like they felt in the 1930's, and he called this collection the COROLLE, also known as the ring of petals collection.
Women all over the world were embracing this wonderful new look of the Christian Dior Dresses. For some reason though, even with so many people loving this new look, many people were also against it.
