Christian Dior

CHRISTIAN DIOR presents on the official Paris calendar as one of the most historically consequential houses in fashion. Founded by Christian Dior in 1946 with backing from textile magnate Marcel Boussac, the house redefined postwar femininity with its 1947 “New Look” — a silhouette of cinched waists and voluminous skirts that Dior himself described as a return to elegance after wartime austerity, and which remains one of the single most influential moments in twentieth-century fashion history. The house has since passed through a lineage of major creative directors, including Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri, each leaving a distinct mark while maintaining Dior’s underlying couture technique and archival vocabulary.

Dior remains one of the crown jewels of the LVMH luxury conglomerate, with its haute couture atelier continuing to produce hand-finished garments at the pinnacle of the craft alongside a globally distributed ready-to-wear, accessories, and fragrance business. Its shows are among the most closely watched events of any fashion month, regularly staged with elaborate sets at institutions like the Musée Rodin, drawing a front row of major celebrities and dictating trend cycles well beyond the runway itself.

For S/S 2027, CHRISTIAN DIOR presents on Tuesday afternoon, continuing an eight-decade run in which the house has repeatedly reinvented Christian Dior’s founding vocabulary of sculpted femininity for each successive era, remaining one of the true anchor points of the Paris Fashion Week calendar.
