Dior's magnificent story begins at 30 Montaigne, and this address remains forever the anchor point of the DIOR House, its heart and spine, soul and nerve centre. The charm of Paris and the spirit of haute couture are born here and begin to shine all over the world. On February 12, 1947, Christian DIOR creates a planetary revolution with the collection he calls “Corolle” and “8 shape”. With just one collection, he designs an instantly recognizable silhouette. Christian DIOR has restored a femininity that many thought had disappeared and tried to defend it. In 1947 and today, DIOR's commitment and vision: to make women beautiful, happy and confident… Its vision began to impress all generations of fashionistas in France and all over the world: bold, confident, radiant and sometimes arrogant femininity - above all - expressed a sense of freedom and happiness. His first collection consisted of soft shoulders, full busts, petite waists and skirts as wide as petals of “Flower women”. On February 12, 1947, at 30 Avenue Montaigne, Christian DIOR unveils his first collection and his first fragrance. For its first fashion show, Dior flooded the stairs and reception rooms of 30 Avenue Montaigne with its scent for the first time; Miss Dior. A green chypre named after his sister Catherine, who shares her passion for flowers. It sprayed more than a liter of fragrance, so much so that the smell was even in the streets. The first bottle was an amphora. Its shape reminded me of the “figure 8” shape, in which the flower-woman was already blooming. It initiated a dialogue between the architecture of dresses and the architecture of bottles, and succeeded in creating a connection between the lines of the female body and the sensuality of fragrances.

Thierry Hermès was just twenty years old when he took a job as an apprentice in the harness and saddle factory. He learned the knowledge, excellence and passion of this craft for many years.

There, he sells harnesses and saddles to his professional customers. In the past, when horses were the main means of transportation, they really played an important role. Therefore, the art of making harness and saddle was also a very important craft. Kings, powerful families, and the wealthy were distinguished from other riders by their luxurious and heavy harnesses and saddles. Despite this trend, Thierry Hermès wants to be one and, despite the trend, he decides to create simpler, thinner and higher quality harnesses. In 1867, during the famous National Exhibition, the perfection of his hand gives him access to a new and very distinguished clientele. Since 1837, Hermès has remained true to its craftsman style and humanistic values. The freedom to create, the constant search for beautiful materials and the extraordinary transfer of know-how to create useful and elegant objects that stand the test of time are Hermès' uniqueness. The perfume craft has been in the history of Hermes since the 1930s. In 2016, Christine Nagel became the Creative Director of Hermès Perfumes, adding many cult scents to brand.

One of Miyake's simplest designs, the black turtleneck became perhaps his most recognizable garment after Apple co-founder Steve Jobs made it the signature element of his uniform.
