The house in brief
Christian Dior founded his couture house in 1946 at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris, unveiling the Bar jacket and the New Look at his first show on February 12, 1947; the house today operates within LVMH as Christian Dior Couture under Delphine Arnault. Its output spans haute couture and ready-to-wear through leather goods, jewelry and home accessories.
