Out of all the designers in the world, my favorite designer would have to be Christian Dior. Even though he past away 51 years ago his legacy still lives on. I believe he was the most influential designer of the twentieth century. The garments he created were elegant, classic and stunning. They were the true definition of high style.
I have always loved fashion and culture of the 1940's and 1950's and Christian Dior really made women of that era beautiful. In 1947 Dior birthed the "New Look" as his first collection. The new look was a new style that was opposite of the severe living conditions of post-war France. He wanted women to feel beautiful and to embrace their curves in clothing that pushed the limit of that era.
Not only did he design amazing clothes but he also help bring licensing agreements to the fashion industry. He has done so much for fashion and is truly an inspiration for other designers and aspiring designers like myself. It is awesome to see the line of Dior still thriving. John Galliano is an amazing designer as well (and is my second favorite designer) and I am so glad he is the designer for Dior. I feel like he still bring the same feminine essence to the line the same way Christian did in the 1950's.
