Throughout the history of the house of Dior, there is one fashion artist who, above all, held carte blanche to illustrate, promote and define the essence of Christian Dior, through a flowing, striking brushstroke that was to become the trademark of Dior’s elegant philosophy.
In this fascinating talk by Connie Gray, discover the life and art of René Gruau (1909-2004) and how this young man from Rimini would have such a profound influence on the career path of Christian Dior himself. His imaginative, beautifully-crafted art is now considered amongst the most iconic fashion images of the 20th century.
With a background in fashion and broadcasting, Connie is a specialist in the history of 20th century fashion illustration and its powerful influence on fashion publications internationally.
