My mother whom I adored, secretly wasted away and died of grief…; her death…marked me for life. - Christian Dior

I think I would be more suited to the couture side of the business!

We were emerging from the period of war, of uniforms, of women-soldiers built like boxers. I drew women-flowers, soft shoulders, fine waists like liana and wide skirts like corolla.

Many people dismiss haute couture as being something that is only for those who are very wealthy... simplicity, good taste, and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.
