The shows at la Maison were so packed that people had
to sit on the staircase!
Back in those days visiting a Fashion House was part of the
sightseeing of Paris. It was customary to come back home
with at least a Dior hat or a bottle of perfume.

The atelier
Christian Dior
It is almost impossible to find real Christian Dior vintage dresses,
if you find one just grab it and hold it tight.
I have the feeling this is going to be one of the most looked after collectables
in the years to come.
Why? nobody can affort to make dresses like this anymore,
just few Couture Houses are still doing some, but very few.
Dior is always creative and sartorialist.
In the 60 plus years of work, with 5 designers, Dior is still one of the
top five Couture Houses.

Stay with me for the next few days and you will fell in love with Dior,
if you are not already an affezionato cliente.
