DIOR - THE EARLY DAYS
In 1905 Christian was the second born into a growing family, with 5 siblings the family was lucky their father was a wealthy fertilizer manufacturer. However because of his fathers success, there was high expectations of Christian becoming a diplomat.
Aged just 5 years old Christian and his family moved across France to start a new life in Paris. As Christian grew older he found a love in sketching, he used to sell them outside of his house on the streets of Paris for extra pocket money, he made around 10 cents per sketch. Although he loved the creative world, he followed his fathers wishes and studied political sciences at university. Once he graduated he managed to persuade his father to let him open a small art gallery, his father agreed to fund the gallery with the promise that Christian would not put the family name above the door. This gallery began selling work from artists such as very famous PABLO PICASSO, JEAN COCTEAU, MAX JACOB and GEORGES BRAQUE.
