The French fashion designer Christian Dior was born on February 21, in 1905 (d. 1957). Karsh wrote: “…the only place where Dior would be photographed was his tiny private office which guards the designing and model room….I decided to portray him standing partially hidden behind a screen, only a portion of the face showing, with just one eye lighted and his finger to his lips enjoining silence and secrecy.”

Princess Grace is wearing Dior in her well-known portrait sitting with Karsh, and we work closely with the Musée Christian Dior.
