The Words Of Christian Dior

January 21, 1905 in Granville, France. He was
best known as the founder of one of the worlds top
fashion house named after him. His creations dominated
the fashion world after World War II. In 1947, Dior

a cinched waist, and a voluminous skirt, which was
far change from the World War II look of padded
shoulders and short skirts.

Christian Dior died at the age of 52 years old in
October 23, 1957 of a heart attack.
Here are some of Christian Dior's words of advice for
fashion, beauty, and style.
ELEGANCE
Elegance must be the right combination of distinction,
naturalness, care, and simplicity.
Outside this, believe me, there is not
elegance. Only pretention.
~
SHOES
You can never take too much care over
the choice of your shoes.
Too many women think that they
are unimportant, but the real proof
of an elegant woman is what
is on her feet.
~
PERFUME
Perfume is the indispensable compliment
to the personality of women,
the finishing touch on a dress.
~
BLACK DRESS
Black is the most slimming of all colors.
It is the most flattering.
You can wear black at any time.
You can wear it at an age.
You can wear it for almost any occasion.
~
GOOD DRESSING
Simplicity, Good Taste and Grooming
are the three fundamentals of good dressing
and these do not cost money.
~
JEWELS
Colour is what gives jewels their worth.
They light up and enhance the face.
Nothing is more elegant than a black
skirt and sweater worn with a sparkling
multi-stoned necklace.
~
HAPPINESS
Happiness is the secret to all
BEAUTY.
There is no beauty without
HAPPINESS!
~
WOMEN
After women, flowers are the most lovely thing
God has given the world.
My dream is to rescue women from nature.
I create so that each and every woman is
the most beautiful.
