What did you learn from Christian Dior’s story?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Very educational and wonderful

This is really an incredible story!

Great video Please do one for Yves Saint Laurent Thank you

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

Truly inspiring 👌🏼

Great video

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 !

The you for information I never knew about these designers

great story about Christian Dior

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

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

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

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. 👵🤔 🕊️

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.

CHRISTIAN DIOR DIOR 💫

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

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

Very fantastic documentary. I must be a Dior!

What an example of life!

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!

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. 😊

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

perseverence of achieving a dream

You should do one on Yves next

Imagine to have Dior as a last name

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

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

Did the narrator really pronounce epitome that way? Lol

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

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

Kristian Dior ❤

Christian Dior I love his clothing perfume handbags shoes extraordinary designer

Love me some Christian Dior 😍🥰

Amazing!

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

"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👍

Cool! Good!

Amazing ...

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

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

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.

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!

Like these name brands history videos

ive never seen a video with more ads

Tôi rất thích thương hiệu này

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

Dior maravilhosa

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".

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

I have one small Dior bag in storage.

Was USA money the currency in France back then ?

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

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

“The New York” 😂

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

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

Arts

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

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

UN genie...

You forgot Diorella and Diorissimo.

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

How sad that Dior died so young at 52😔😢

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

why good talent is rejected first always

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

Follow your dream

I ahve a black Dior coat

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

Did Dior's son die while in the military? Heading elsewhere to find out.

U just love dior

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.

Pronunciation is horrible. A little research goes a long way 🙏

#believeinyourself

coco rules

Quanto sono stanca state attente ai gruppi non sono caritas vere o aiuti c'è di tutto dentro e chi a parenti divise si salvano sempre come lcosimo e altri

Neither of my sons are gay. It's just true. My eldest is a virgin, and my youngest is married and expecting a baby girl.

Warning: The visuals are hilarious

They didn’t invent, they founded the brands.

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

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

DIOR was not survivor he was Warrior he thrived

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