In 1905 Christian Dior was born in the town of Greenville on the French coast. When he was 5 years old, his family moved to Paris. From 1923 to 1927 he was studying and in 1927 he did his compulsory military service. His friend Jean Ozenne gave him a place to stay and helped him to start sketching dresses and hats. Dior started to sell his sketches, some of which were purchased by milliner Agnes, Robert Piguet, and were also published in “Le Figaro”.

Christian Dior joined Lucien Lelong as a designer in 1941. Dior was happy because he could design more or less as he pleased and also he stayed in the background which he preferred as Christian Dior was very shy. In 1947 Christian Dior thought about his first collection. He wanted to make women feel like flowers again as they did in the 30′s, and called his collection Corolle, or ring of petals. Christian Dior decided he would bring back beauty, full flowing skirts, and feminine dresses. Christian Dior introduced his Christian Dior Lipsticks in 1955.
