“After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world” ~ Cristian Dior
Dior cherished the Impressionists images of the region’s sun, sky, wind, sea and cliffs. He adopted all these elements as the underlying inspirations for his fabric patterns and colors.
Dior translated Claude Monet’s “The Artist’s Garden at Giverny” into a dress adorned with chiffon petals and touches of green and purple. He used fabric as generously as Monet painted it - gathered in at the waist then flared to below the calf to give an innovative silhouette.
