There is no need to introduce Christian Dior and the House he created anymore. And this episode is not another biography of the French designer and his legacy. I wanted to focus on one particular aspect of Christian Dior’s inspirations: the flowers and how they influenced his perception of fashion, femininity and silhouettes following the Second World War.

In this new episode of My Fashion Stories Box Podcast :

• We will look at Christian Dior’s early life, his connections to nature and how the personality of his mother influenced his love for flowers.
• We will see how the flowers motifs have been used in Christian Dior’s works, in terms of shapes, names and other embellishments.
• We will also talk about the 19th century fashion, its influences and relationships with flowers in the designer’s works.
• We will dive in the perfume universe of Christian Dior.
• And, finally, we will analyse how Christian Dior’s passion for flowers influenced his successors at the creative direction of the House of Dior.
