Christian Dior ushered in the 'New Look', raising hemlines and creating a silhouette so feminine it took the fashion world by storm. Under the first female Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chiuri (2016), Dior’s designs embrace women empowerment by redesigning femininity to be both feminine and feminist. This trend-setting label continues to set the standard for Haute Couture around the world, with scions of the industry at the helm such as Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, and Raf Simons.
