Christian Dior
When Christian Dior launched his couture house, in 1946, he wanted nothing less than to make “an elegant woman more beautiful and a beautiful woman more elegant.” He succeeded, and in doing so the visionary designer altered the landscape of 20th century fashion.
Dior was born in Granville, on the Normandy coast, in 1905. His prosperous haute bourgeois parents wanted him to become a diplomat despite his interest in art and architecture. However, they agreed to bankroll an art gallery, which Dior opened in 1928 in Paris with a friend.
This was the start of Dior’s rise in the city’s creative milieu, where he befriended Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau. After seven years as an art dealer, Dior retrained as a fashion illustrator, eventually landing a job as a fashion designer for Robert Piguet, and in 1941, following a year of military service, he joined the house of Lucien Lelong. Just five years later, with the backing of industrialist Marcel Boussac, the ascendant Dior established his own fashion house, at 30 avenue Montaigne in Paris.
Just two years after the end of World War II, the fashion crowd and the moribund haute couture industry were yearning, comme tout Paris, for security and prosperity, desperate to discard the drab, sexless, utilitarian garb imposed by wartime deprivation. They needed to dream anew.
And Dior delivered: He designed a collection for a bright, optimistic future. “It’s quite a revolution, dear Christian!” exclaimed Carmel Snow, the prescient American editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, famously proclaiming, “Your dresses have such a new look.” The press ran with the description, christening Dior’s debut Spring/Summer haute couture collection the New Look. “God help those who bought before they saw Dior,” said Snow. “This changes everything.”
Dior’s collection definitively declared that opulence, luxury and femininity were in. His skirts could have 40-meter-circumference hems, and outfits could weigh up to 60 pounds. They were cut and shaped like architecture, on strong foundations that molded women and “freed them from nature,” Dior said. Rather than rationing, his ladies wanted reams of fabric and 19-inch waists enforced by wire corsets, and the fashion world concurred. The debut got a standing ovation.
In the subsequent decade, Paris ruled as the undisputed fashion capital of the world, and Christian Dior reigned as its king. With the luxuriously full skirts of his New Look, suits and his drop-dead gorgeous evening dresses and ball gowns worthy of any princess, Dior gave women the gift of glamour they’d lost in the miserable years of war.

The Gemini pendant necklace is made of 18 karats white gold and features around 1,00 carat, F-G vvs-vs, n. 155 brilliant cut round diamonds pavè.

$3,300 / itemFree Shipping - Bea Barzaghi Powerful Healing Rutilated Quartz Grounding Yellow Gold PendantBy Beatrice Barzaghi MilanoLocated in Milan, ITBea Barzaghi Powerful Healing Rutilated Quartz Grounding Yellow Gold Pendant. Contemporary Beatrice Barzaghi Rutilated Quartz Yellow Gold Grounding Necklace is a powerful healing talisman which proved to be very effective on Giovanni Gesaldi energetic inbalances. Few months after wearing his talisman, created according to the result of the kinesiology test of gems, Giovanni reported that recurring fevers ended. The Giovanni grounding pendant necklace is made of 18 karat yellow gold and features an oval cabochon cut rutilated quartz. Its weight is 24.2 carats and measures 18.6 by 14.8 by 11.5 mm. The total weight of the necklace is 8.65 grams. The pendant is modeled by hand in wax by Italian designer and gemologist (GIA G.G.) Beatrice Barzaghi, then fused in gold, set and polished by hand by the best Italian goldsmiths. The length of the necklace is 42 centimeters. The Giovanni necklace was specially made for the person who gave the necklace its name: Giovanni Gesaldi. This is the reason why the back bears a double "G". I modeled the back of the pendant in a convex shape so that it can tilt from side to side according to the movement of the body and the gem captures and reflects more light. The shape of the pendant is asymmetrical and symbolizes the possibility to discover Beauty outside of the classical schemes; it suggests appreciating the unexpected in life. The necklace’s lines shaped in wax are material and reconnect the wearer to rooting to the Earth. I think Man is influenced by everything around him, especially by the stars to the smallest but powerful stone. The Giovanni necklace, like all my jewels, is conceived as an energetic object, helping the wearer to develop the talents with which he or she was born. Gems and metals form deep into Mother Earth and because of extremely high temperatures and pressure they became energy accumulators, thus they affect the person wearing them. Energies and vibrations of gems are powerful and I proved it with an experiment held in February 2021 conducted by Professor of anatomy Claudia Dellavia of the University of Milan (please contact me for more details). The Giovanni necklace belongs to the Struggle Collection; it is modeled by lost wax technique, represents the worldly and human element, the complexity of the daily quest. While the Enlightenment Collection is modeled by CAD and represents the divine sparkle that shines through Humanity, the Celestial Spheres, the reaching of Enlightenment. The Essence Collection, is modeled by both CAD and lost wax technique and merges their meanings: it represents the path to fulfill human gifts through Matter. All gems and metals need to be energetically cleansed once a month by leaving them in running water for 5 minutes or by keeping them next to a rock crystal overnight. Please contact me for a custom model concerning the size and quality of diamonds or I can search for different significant gems. RUTILATED QUARTZ: is an effective integrator of energy at any level. It heightens the energetic impulse of Quartz and is a very efficient vibrational healer. Spiritually, rutilated quartz is said to have a perfect balance of cosmic...Category
