The History of Dior | Hello Fashion | Kate Young

- In the world of luxury fashion, Dior’s richness of history is practically unparalleled. On this episode, I visit the Brooklyn Museum’s “Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams” exhibition and walk through the house’s aesthetic evolution-one that’s been shaped by changes in style, historical context, and creative leadership.
I begin with the conception of the brand by Christian Dior in 1946. French women’s clothing at the time was utilitarian and pared down to the essential, as World War II had recently ended. Dior made headlines with his “New Look” design, an hourglass style characterized by a wasp waist and a full skirt. Dior’s designs soon attracted attention in America, and the house quickly became internationally recognized. Next I delve into Dior’s successors, which include Yves Saint Laurent, Mark Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri, each of whom has left their own distinct mark on the brand.
While Dior will inspire interest for decades to come, it is made exceptional because of its storied past as well as the codes that have become embedded in its foundation over time. Not every house could have an exhibition like the one at the Brooklyn Museum. Very few houses have created so much beauty, over so much time, and in so many ways.

I'm not that interested in fashion, neither do I want to be a fashion student in the future, but there's something beautiful and magical in learning fashion history from Kate 💗
❤️
I think it’s her clear joy and passion, it comes through as she talks about each & every piece or designer.
Rrfffggfr

Loving the series, please keep them coming! Love fashion stories as opposed to just another handbag unboxing for the 100th time.
❤️❤️❤️
Dior is one of those houses that evolves with the times, but never truly loses it spirit. That, I believe, is the mark of true art and glamour.
Edit: Typo
I've seen the "Christian Dior: designer of dreams" exhibition and was blown away by the history of the house. The bar suit is my favourite ❤️
I’m visiting this weekend! So excited
I can imagine sipping coffee and listen to you talk about fashion for hours ...so relaxing
🥰
I love the storytelling style you offer when teaching the history behind each fashion house. It is engaging and enchanting. Perhaps you may select to share the story behind Ferragamo soon!
Beautiful to immerse yourself into this lessons weekly
You looked incredible here, specially against the ghosts base dresses, very fitting for the season haha.
I could never have enough of your passion for fashion. Funny how they rhyme too.
I’m still gagged why this channel is free! ❤️🥰
❤️❤️❤️
These episodes are very entertaining and her way of speaking is very easy to understand.
I saw the exhibition at London and just loved it!!!! Being a designer myself the toile room was my vision of heaven brought in to life!!!!

Thank you for such quality video!

I LOVE these videos! It makes me appreciate the clothing so much more ❤️
Loved this! Thanks Kate for sharing your knowledge and love of fashion:)
Love your commentary in these videos. Please keep doing them!
Yesssss - my favorite series! I click on these so fast when I get a notification. 🤣
Kate, I wonder if at some point you would also consider doing deep-dives on any non-Western houses or some lesser-known houses as well?
i love history in general and i have enjoyed listening to your storytelling of several designers for the last several videos but especially this one on Dior. Looking at some of the current fashion makes me realize that they came from the older, classic designs with a twist to make them more modern... Galliano is one of my favorites... You look very chic and an articulate story teller....Thank you for sharing the fashion history!
This video is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time and your love for the house of Dior is obvious.
Loved this episode - so much history with this fashion house! I remember Nicole Kidman wearing this dress and my reaction to it…It was so different from anything else she had worn before…the colour suited her so well.
Loving your history of fashion houses. More please.
Great video as always Kate! I was so surprised that my favorite perfume ever, the original miss Dior, was the first perfume of the house Dior! Now I feel even classier hahaha
Loved it, Kate!🖤
Did.....did we just get a private tour of a Dior exhibition with exceptional historical background - FOR FREE?
I am blown away, again! Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!

I saw this exhibition first in Paris and then again when it came to London. This is making me want to book a trip to Brooklyn to see it a third time. Each exhibition had slightly different exhibits, making it special and unique to that city. Jadior thank you for the lovely video 😘

The chartreuse gown wore by Nicole tooky my breath away too when i saw it as a young girl on the red carpet! Maybe thats why i have this love for chinoiserie to this day. Hands down one of the most memorable Oscars gowns.

I absolutely J’adore 😉 these Fashion History videos! Please keep them up🙏🏻💕
💕
I love Hello Fashion- thank you Kate for quality content - next level storytelling- big fan from 🇨🇦 . Dior is stunningly beautiful. I would love to see Oscar de la Renta.
Yes! I was waiting for this! I fell in love with Dior as a teenager watching Galliano's magic unfold. It was so exciting and we just don't get that much of a 'show' anymore. I miss the drama - the colours, the makeup, the head pieces, the out of this world fashion. Especially also since the passing of Lee McQueen. I also remember being completely blown away by that dress on Nicole Kidman. It was so different. It is the dress I always think of when talking about/watching red carpet fashion.
You've completely made my day. Thank you Kate xxxx
🥰
As a fan of the history of the House of Dior and the brand itself I have to say that this video is beautiful, simply beautiful. To me, all this designers have done a great job in their times, but John is the best one. And to me Nicole's dress is also one of the best dresses ever produced by Dior and by the industry of fashion in general, and maybe the best to ever be on a red carpet.
Bravo Kate, Bravo!!!! 👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽👏🏻
Kate you're my style guru...from a fan in Toronto Ontario
Thanks Kate for giving us a tour to the latest DIOR exhibition. Monsieur Dior's legacy will live forever.
Your fashion videos just brighten my day, thanks Kate! 🙂
🥰
Already anticipating next week's video. These history lessons have elevated my love for fashion to another level
❤️
You look beautiful Kate! Amazing video and I saw your book at the back 😊 that I will definitely get !
Thank you!!!
Thank you, Kate for another historical exploration into the House of Dior. I am so looking forward to Gucci, or have I missed it??!!?? Take care.
Love it! I wish they could bring the exhibition to Buenos Aires
I truly believe the sudden disappearance of Mr.Dior added to the mysticism and code that Yves and John carried forwards. Beautifully illustrated Kate! Always a pleasure seeing you dive into knowledge and taking us with you!
Kate, I queued for 4 hours to see this exhibition in London in the V&A and it was the most magical day but you have just brought this to life in a way which I could never have anticipated! Your appreciation for the art and the meaning of fashion is so so so wonderful! I love your videos so much! 💕
💕💕💕
