The Son Of A Manufacturer Who Invented Christian Dior 

What did you learn from Christian Dior’s story?

I can’t afford much of the Dior brand but getting my Dior perfume is my one luxury ❤️

I love the authentic story of the people behind the high end brands I wear.

Why was John Galliano exempted from this documentary? John Galliano was also an important and key person that kept Dior alive from the 90s to the 2000s. John Galliano also contibruted highly in creating some if not the most iconic pieces in modern times for the house of Dior

To me, it’s hard to tell the story of Christian without telling the story of Catherine. She was more than just Christians brother. Catherine Dior was Christians best friend and one of his greatest inspirations. She fought in the French resistance in WWII, was CAPTURED AND TORTURED, sent to ravensbrück, an all women concentration camp, ESCAPED during a death march and returned to Christian, working to keep his legacy. When he died, she inherited half of his things, and had to sell her house so she could turn their old house into a museum. Catherine was also a lover of flowers, she worker on a farm to grow the beautiful flowers that inspired Christians fragrances. Catherine and Christan Dior were very close growing up, and they even ended up moving to Paris together. When WWII started in the 1940’s and the Germans started to invade, the pair had to move back in with their father. The two had moved often, as war had taken control of nearly everyone's life. “In 1936, Catherine and her brother Christian rejoined Paris together,” Clémence Michallon tells us in an “Independent” article, “Christian found work as a fashion designer, while Catherine sold hats and gloves at a boutique. Separated by 12 years in age, they remained ‘the closest of the Dior siblings.’” Near the end of 1941, Christian had moved back to Paris, leaving Catherine with the rest of the family. While shopping for a radio, an object most important in the midst of war, Catherine Dior met Hervé des Charbonneries, the love of her life. Although he had been married at the time, Catherine had stayed with him after the war, until the end of his life. Hervé and his wife Lucie had an “open marriage,” but still ended up divorcing later on. Madison San Miguel writes about Catherine's love and loyalty in a November 2021 Vogue Magazine. San Miguel interviews an important author in Catherine's story, who will be discussed shortly. “The book first discusses Catherine’s commitment to love, especially to Hervé des Charbonnieres, whom she later joined the French Resistance with,” San Miguel notes. “During the resistance was when she discovered her love for flowers, which she saw as a comfort and meaning for resilience, and became a voice for women. Because of this deep love, the couple became suppliers of fresh cut flowers at Les Halles de Paris Market, and eventually grew roses and jasmine at their Provence home.” Charbonneries had been an early member of the French Resistance, a group in which he fought against Nazi power in france, and helped allies by getting inside information. Under the code name “Caro,” Catherine joined the French Resistance and helped save many lives. English writer, Justine Picardie, found an interest in Catherine's life. The “Miss Dior” writer did not intend to write about Catherine. “After my Chanel biography came out,” Picardie tells “Fashion Network’s” Godfrey Deeny, “I received an invitation to look at the Dior archives with a view to doing a biography of Christian Dior.” Picardie started reading, and she had a connection with Catherine through the little information she knew. “Suddenly I knew a little bit about Catherine,” Picardie says to Deeny, “I know it sounds crazy, but it was as if suddenly she was sort of there as a character and I just knew in order to write about Christian I also had to write about Catherine.” San Miguel, Madison. “‘MISS.

This story is so encouraging, it has taught me to always follow my dream and not what others say and to never give up and work hard

Love that YSL was his assistant and Margiela was Jean Paul Gaultier’s assistant! Especially since they hVe different perspectives

DIOR is one my favorite luxury brands, I have a good collection of Dior Fashion, bags and accessories.. I love this brand, it is o classy 👏

Galiano was an important part of Dior and his story should have been included. He opened his first store at 42 and died at 52 but his legacy is forever.

As a formee faahionista who wants to learn more about the business side these stories bring me so much happiness. We all struggle! Some just make it look really good. Keep going friends your story isn’t over ❤

Hard work never fails! His story is an inspiration.

I can’t afford Dior right now, hopefully will own one Dior bag in future. Love love to have a Dior bag. So obsessed with the Bags !

Good story I never saw this coming of untold story of christian Dior which is worldwide thank you keep on moving.

Many high brands were created by poor people, Dior, Chanel, LV, Rolls-Royce, etc

Thank you for such brilliant narration of the narrator;the historical past of Diors life was vividly empathetically & comprehensively brought into life with such fluency of speech to let Diors biographies become inspiring😘💡👌

Christian Diors sales going to be *SAVAGE* Thank you for standing with Johnny Depp!

Great video about The Story of Christian Dior, really interesting video!

Great video, it's nice to see it's never to late

Thank you 😊 for this documentary. Interesting information about Dior. I didn't know that he had been homeless and living in poverty. Dior revolutionized womens fashion. He was older when he found success. His name lives on today.

When I think of sophistication and elegance I think of Dior, Christian Dior. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🏆🏆🏆🏆

Dior is the best ❤ love the forever glow makeup 💄 and I want to get into those clothes!

okay, is it just me, or did all of these broke children create literally the most expensive apparel ever?

Timeless! I only wish I could afford more of their clothes. I cherish all I have acquired! As a professional seamstress I appreciate the look!

Beginning is the common feature on all Aquarius ♒️ I hope all of us had equal chances to contribute to art fashion creativity

Did the narrator really pronounce epitome that way? Lol

Fun fact I was born on the same day as Dior exactly 100 years later

CHRISTIAN DIOR DIOR 💫

excellent video my friend, thanks for sharing all this information as usual, I have been very helpful .. I love your channel

(IMO) you did a fantastic job of narrating this Documentary, "I personally liked how you did Sections" I like It.

This is really an incredible story!

Did you say that he "contacted" tuberculosis? You should have said that he "contracted" it. Did you say that he had financial "banking"? You should have said he had financial "backing".

Imagine to have Dior as a last name

great story about Christian Dior

Very educational and wonderful

Truly inspiring 👌🏼

I think of my work as ephemeral architecture, dedicated to the beauty of the female body. Christian Dior

Christian Dior Dolce Vita is my all time favorite perfume!!

I’m here to support,I thought I was already subscribed but I don’t know what google did

What an example of life!

Just a quick correction; Monsieur Dior launched his eponymous brand in 1947, and in the Corolla collection, the stand out piece was ‘The Bar Suit’. This was later coined by Carmel Snow, then editor in chief of Harpers Bazaar ‘The New Look’. Not ‘The New Yorker’ as you mentioned in this video. 😊

I enjoyed a lot your video. Thank you so much . well done

I loved the story very much

You should do one on Yves next

OK, I have to comment on the narrator's pronunciation of French is way off. Also, I'm nearly positive that there's not, nor ever was a Christian Dior shop in Nuuk Greenland!

perseverence of achieving a dream

Beautiful storytelling on CD's tenacious surviving skill from his ups and downs in life. I was thinking if old French Francs could be used instead of Dollar bills for this narrative film. 👵🤔 🕊️

Thé Vision of Mr Dior and Artist Galliano IS DIOR👍

The you for information I never knew about these designers

Despite never being the kind of woman Dior designed for, I relate through his love of plants, flowers, art and architecture. Since Dior has stuck with Johnny Depp, I have been encouraging them to remove the amber notes in Sauvage, because who doesn't want Amber gone? A 2022 Sauvage JD, a unisex fragrance dedicated to all DV survivors, would sell by the mega pint.

We drove past (by accident) Dior's mansion in Granville on way to Mt St Michel. It's a lovely museum. What that sea side mansion where he grew up...... poverty does NOT inspire high fashion

Great video Please do one for Yves Saint Laurent Thank you

Great video

Love me some Christian Dior 😍🥰

Very fantastic documentary. I must be a Dior!

Trebaće vam novi modeli sa iskustvom ,stilom da to iznesu bolje nego cela elita ,jer jako je bitno imati unutrašnju i spoljašnu lepotu i još poneti takav komad odeće ,pa gde bi mi kraj bio kad bih sve to imao

Christian Dior I love his clothing perfume handbags shoes extraordinary designer

You forgot to mention the close ties Dior had with Nazi Germany in WW2.

Would love to you do one on Jean Patou.. My favorite designer

Christian Dior is what the universe gives us when it is showing off...

really good, thank you

"Christian contacted tuberculosis." "Hello? Tuberculosis? This is Christian speaking."

ive never seen a video with more ads

Dior is too expensive nowadays. I would buy if bags are 2-3000 dollars.

Who did this voice over and have they EVER researched fashion?

"I think of of my work as ephemeral architecture dedicated to the beauty of the female body" totally agree well it might be too stiff to wear but i think there are lots of more than stiff and uncomfortable dress that women would wear to look beautiful, and i think his vision is very advanced feels like he already knew today fashion world👍

To make money : comme c bien dit!!:une nouvelle façon de considérer les choses par cette expression

Next time you deal with someone french please make sure the narrator knows the language! This one is appalling!

Tôi rất thích thương hiệu này

“The New York” 😂

Why be so limited and not actually look for the spelling if you're going to do a so called "documentary'? Spelling in french is different than english.

Kako bih vam ja reklamirao sve ,ali nisam te sreće čisto da pokažem eliti kako bi tek sijao u pravoj eleganciji i to izneo kao pravi smker sa stilom koji ume da zraci spoljasnom ali i unutrašnjom lepotom, ne samo telo bez duše i sjaja iz očiju ,promene su potrebne i da vam dizajn ponese onaj koji će to najbolje reklamirti u svetu

Amazing!

Kristian Dior ❤

Was USA money the currency in France back then ?

Cool! Good!

Christian Dior, was born m, March 26, 1988, as Ismael LaBoy III

Dior maravilhosa

How sad that Dior died so young at 52😔😢

why good talent is rejected first always

In the ysl story he sued Dior and open his own brand …

Louis Vutton owns YSL and Dior don’t be fooled people you are just paying for the look it’s all the same shit I have 6 designer slides from different brands all the same exact material and feel along with some designer clothes as well

Amazing ...

Is christian dior into any occult?? All those eerie looking designs and patterns

Welcome nteresting video so always need balancer prise mentality reguired for next generations better to sense live love life nature show must go by timeless for benefit good growing on . // Rutereni Iren.

Why are you showing “Dior” boy is colouring Крым Наш which in Russian means Crimea is ours???

Next time get a narrator who doesn't mistake The New Look with The New York and knows how to pronounce 'epitome'.

I respect Christian Dior's worldview, but women couldn't move comfortably in workplaces with those clothes, so they needed more masculine designs. Gabrielle Chanel was also looking at it from this perspective and she was right. After all, women were not supposed to be confined to the home, they had to go into business for economic freedom

DIOR was not survivor he was Warrior he thrived

The "New York"? Or do you mean the "New Look"?

hi. I felt strange to see your number of subscribers since you provide high quality videos but with very few views. it seems there is something wrong since it's clear you put much effort in each video. the solution for more views is marketing your videos, maybe you should pay some for advertisement for one video to see the difference between marketing videos and not. don't put much effort in quality and put more time in the number of videos. try to find the trends and understand what people are looking for. I don't want to see someone wasting his time with no gain as I did.

They didn’t invent, they founded the brands.

UN genie...

nice video... but the voice here is sooooo irritating

You forgot Diorella and Diorissimo.

Like these name brands history videos

Not a bad idea to pronounce the french names correctly….as it is, it hurts my ears

U just love dior

They are French and living in Paris and the video shows American money. So funny they got this so wrong.

Follow your dream

Dior went downhill after John Galliano left tbh
