Dior

The most influential fashion designer of the late 1940s and 1950s, Christian Dior dominated fashion after World war II with the hourglass silhouette of his voluptuous new look. He also defined a new business model in the post-war fashion industry by establishing Dior as a global brand across a wide range of products. Christian Dior Couture, a division of the whole House of Dior, designs and creates some of the world's most coveted haute couture, as well as luxury ready-to-wear fashion, menswear and accessories. Today, Dior operates about 160 boutiques worldwide with plans to open more in the years to come.
