January 21 is the birthday of Christian Dior, one of the most influential fashion designers of the 20th century. During his life, he was called an “uncrowned king” of post-war fashion. He was the first to establish a global brand uniting different types of production and dared to return femininity to post-war women’s clothes. Carla Bruni, currently the French president’s wife, started working for the Christian Dior fashion house in 1985.
