Talk:Christian Dior

message: Can we do any better with this picture?  I'm having a really tough time believing that that's a Dior shoot. (that's putting it mildly.  I think it's just some guys fooling around.) posted by 61.7.2.220 (talk)
:Well, it says "small" fashion magazine, which I interpret to be some mag produced at a local design school or something, however the models do look like Dior male models and the suit looks Dior.  Are you contesting this, that the suit and the models are not real, or just that it's not a mainstream fashion magazine. I guarantee Vogue is not going to be giving any of their prints to the public domain.   If you can do better, go ahead and change it out, otherwise, please leave it.KP Botany 00:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe that a separate page for the couture fashion of Christian Dior is needed, possibly linked by /Dior_(fashion)/me 2 i think it needs more formatting and what is in this that shows the prefumes or fashion thats what i think is wrong.
:Agreed. I've moved Parfums Christian Dior to a separate page, and done a preliminary cleanup of this article. But at the moment it seems to be about Hedi Slimane rather than Dior himself, and is deeply confusing. -- TinaSparkle 18:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Christian Dior.png

message: The following paragraph
<< The New Look was absolutely appropriate for the post-war era. Dior was correct in assuming that people wanted something new after years of war, brutality and hardship. His new look was reminiscent of the Belle Epoque ideal of long skirts, tiny waists and beautiful fabrics that his mother had worn in the early 1900s. Such a traditional concept of femininity also suited the political agenda. Women had been mobilised during the war to work on farms and in factories while the men were away fighting. In peacetime those women were expected to return to passive roles as housewives and mothers, leaving their jobs free for the returning soldiers. The official paradigm of post-war womanhood was a capable, caring housewife who created a happy home for her husband and children. Dior’s “flower women” fitted the bill perfectly.
His couture house was inundated with orders. Rita Hayworth picked out an evening gown for the première of her new movie, Gilda. The ballerina, Margot Fonteyn, bought a suit. Dior put Paris back on the fashion map. The US couture clients came back in force for the autumn 1947 collections and Dior was invited to stage a private presentation of that season’s show for the British royal family in London, although King George V forbade the young princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret, from wearing the New Look lest it set a bad example at a time when rationing was still in force for the general public.>>

message: Croatian writer Giancarlo Kravar: Rita Haywort, Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, Evita Peron, the Duchess of Windsor, Barbara Hutton, Pamela Churchill, Elie de Rothschild were the first on the list of many famous and powerful women who wear Christian Dior models. And how did it all begin? In the luxurious Parisian bar in Avenue Montaigne, the number 30 was crowded 12th February 1947. year. There were a lot of writers, actors, fashion businessman, critics, photographers and journalists of all newspapers. And then, shock! According to the Croatian daily Vecernji list, but the first model in a rich wrinkled skirt showed that almost a fashion war poverty is over. The author of the first biography of Dior France Pochna wrote: "The skirt, which moves in a circle of 20 feet, hat set up to cover one eye, arrogant attitude, an incarnation of femininity, seductive, sensual and elegant combination of scandalous, true Parisian allegory. Long skirts, narrow waist, full breasts ... Women in the audience in short skirts unconsciously began to withdraw their skirts the edges." Thus was born the New Look, perhaps the most important design concept 20th century. Thus the Christian Dior changed the history of world fashion. I would add: the legend lives in the 21st century! 93.137.58.201 (talk) 20:55, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Although categorised as an LGBT artist from France, there’s no mention of Dior’s sexuality in the article. And while Jacques Benita is a re-direct to this page, there’s no mention of him either, even though he is pretty well documented as Dior’s last partner. I appreciate that Wikipedia’s not a gossip column, but the absence of any mention at all of his sexuality seems rather odd. KJP1 (talk) 17:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
