From the house of dreams to the house of talents
"Whatever you do - for work or pleasure - do it with passion! Live with passion..." Christian Dior
Christian Dior was the designer of dreams. From the founding of his House in 1947, marked by the New Look revolution, he transformed his dreams into marvelous creations. His visionary spirit constantly magnified women around the world, inspiring his successors today more than ever. "Fabric is the sole vehicle of our dreams (...). Fashion, in essence, stems from a dream, and a dream is an escape," he wrote in his work I Am a Couturier. Throughout his collections, Monsieur Dior became the demiurge of his muses' happiness.
Today, rich in this exceptional heritage and a community of over 7,500 talents, our House embodies more than ever the House of Talents envisioned by Christian Dior. In more than 40 countries, we showcase our expertise, our audacity, and our excellence through the passion and creativity of our collaborators. Join us and create your future in our generous, disruptive, and ambitious universe where we grow in excellence, courage, and optimism.
