House of Dreams, House of Talents.
“Whatever you do — for work or pleasure — do it with passion! Live with passion!”* Christian Dior
Christian Dior was the designer of dreams. In founding his House in 1947, marked by the revolution of the New Look, he metamorphosed his reveries into wonderful creations. His visionary spirit never ceased to make women all over the world feel more beautiful, an inspiration for his successors to this day. “Fabric is the sole vehicle of our dreams (...). Fashion, in short, comes from a dream and the dream is an escape from reality,” he wrote in his book Je suis couturier**. Over the course of his collections, Monsieur Dior became the master of his muses’ happiness.
