After illustrating fashion during the financial crisis of the 1930s, he revolutionized it with the New Look, marked by fitted jackets with rounded shoulders, over full skirts below the knees. This immediate success brought him a decade of international fame.
In the 1950s, he introduced iconic silhouettes like the H-line, the A-line and the Y-line.
Despite his death in 1957, the house of Dior continued under the direction of new designers.
