Dior worked for some of the best including Lucien Lelong. In 1946 Christian Dior opened his own couture house. Dior is credited with reviving the fashion scene in post WWII Paris. Dior launched his first clothing line in 1947. The "New Look" fashions he designed were a far cry from the military attire and the severe suits that proceeded his more feminine look. He went on to become one of the most important clothing designers of our time. Dior is another fashion designer that made a mark in the costume jewelry business. Like Chanel, Schiaparelli and others he liked to accessorize his fashions. He was known to like very high quality jewelry, most of which was signed and sometimes dated. It is believed that Dior designed the jewelry, however it was manufactured by others such as Henkel and Grosse of Germany and Schreiner. Dior is credited with being the first designer to use aurora borealis coated rhinestones. In the 1950s the Dior name was licensed to Kramer of New York. Kramer produced jewels for Dior and was allowed via this agreement to use the Dior name. Yves St. Laurent was apprentice at Dior and when Mr. Dior died in 1957, Laurent ran the house for a time. Kramer of NY now handles the extensive Dior product line. Signature Designs. Beautiful jewelry featuring aurora borealis rhinestones.
