Christian Dior was born in France, in 1905. At an early age, he showed great interest in art, design, and fashion. In 1935, Dior moved to Paris and began a career selling sketches of lady's clothing to fashion designers. In 1938, Dior received his first break in the fashion industry when he was hired by the renowned designer, Robert Piguet. After the WWII, Dior was hired by Lucien Lelong. In 1946, Dior left the design firm of Lelong. In 1947, the House of Dior released its first major clothing line for women. In 1953, Dior hired Yves Saint Laurent to be his protégé and assistant. In October of 1957, the world of haute couture was devastated upon hearing the news that Christian Dior had died of a heart attack. The House of Dior was passed to Yves Saint Laurent. For a brief period, Dior released several lines of home accessories, including china. Although Dior's home accessories sold quite successfully, these lines were discontinued. Despite the global economic challenges of the past few years, Christian Dior Couture creates designs in the Dior tradition and continues to thrive.
