A handwritten sketch with handwritten notes by fashion designer Christian Dior

Christian Dior is a French fashion designer, founder of the Dior fashion house, who had a significant impact on world fashion in the second half of the 20th century. His collections, especially those presented in 1947, created a real sensation and became a symbol of post-war elegance. Dior was one of the first to invent the "New Look", which recreated femininity and refined silhouette after the Second World War.

This sketch from the 1940s, featured in the Stargift collection, is a unique work reflecting the early period of Dior's work, before the creation of his iconic "New Look" collection. At that time, the fashion designer was developing the first ideas that would later become the basis of his revolutionary collections. The sketch is a prime example of his skill and the artistic approach he developed, and highlights the attention to detail and sophistication typical of couture fashion of the time.
