B-Class because it's fairly comprehensive (but needs references). High-importance within fashion due to success and name recognition. Daniel Case 03:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

"Christian Dior is a very gay man" - Maybe I don't fully understand English, but this seems odd. Does it?

The article doesn't explicitly say who "Raymond" and "François" are. It also says that Raymond should have been Christian's successor because Christian didn't have any children; however, the first paragraph under "History" says that he had three.

yea totally agree!

[edit] Article formatting

This page is badly in need of formatting and also becoming more informative. The article barely mentions the fashion it's self and rather only contains biographical details on Christian Dior's life. I'd do it but I wouldn't know where to begin.

[edit] Picture?

Can we do any better with this picture? I'm having a really tough time believing that that's a Dior shoot. (that's putting it mildly. I think it's just some guys fooling around.) posted by 61.7.2.220 (talk)

Well, it says "small" fashion magazine, which I interpret to be some mag produced at a local design school or something, however the models do look like Dior male models and the suit looks Dior. Are you contesting this, that the suit and the models are not real, or just that it's not a mainstream fashion magazine. I guarantee Vogue is not going to be giving any of their prints to the public domain. If you can do better, go ahead and change it out, otherwise, please leave it.KP Botany 00:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separate page for Fashion

I believe that a separate page for the couture fashion of Christian Dior is needed, possibly linked by /Dior_(fashion)/me 2 i think it needs more formatting and what is in this that shows the prefumes or fashion thats what i think is wrong.

Agreed. I've moved Parfums Christian Dior to a separate page, and done a preliminary cleanup of this article. But at the moment it seems to be about Hedi Slimane rather than Dior himself, and is deeply confusing. -- TinaSparkle 18:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] After Dior's death

The article doesn't mention that Gianfranco Ferre was the "artistic director" for Dior at least in the early 90's, between Bohan and Galliano.
