Passage 2
The name Christian
Dior is considered by many to be the most
recognized name in fashion. Its
founder, Christian Dior was born in
1905 in the small
town of Granville in
Normandy,
France.
Dior spent
some time as an artist and (1)

business, forcing them to sell (4)
everything
they
owned.
Dior
moved

his
attention to
the fashion industry. After being (6)
from army service in 1940, he returned
to

employment with the fashion house of
Lucien Lelong. In 1946 Marcel
Boussac,
the richest man in France at the time, provided
(8)
financial
backing for Dior to
launch
his
own
fashion
house.
Dior's
first
clothing
line
released
in
1947
was
an
overwhelming
success,
winning
favor
for
the
designer,
both
in
Europe
and
the
distant
USA.
(9)
.
Wider
global
expansion followed shortly after. In 1948 Dior
launched a perfume line which proved to be
a great success. (10)
.
Dior
was
preparing
for
retirement
when
a
heart
attack
took
his
life
in
1957.
Later
the
group
experienced many ups
and downs over the years. (11)

And
in
a
1950
decision
he
expanded
the
brand
into

like
hats,
