Dior by Dior

I like all the simple things of life, such as small parties of old friends; I detest the noise and bustle of the world, and sudden, violent changes.

Having entered very late into this profession where others had spent a lifetime learning, and having had no training to guide me except my own instincts, I had always been afraid of betraying my ignorance of it. Perhaps it was this very fear of remaining the perpetual amateur that spurred me on to brush aside my doubts at last, and invent the character of Christian Dior, couturier.

As a matter of fact, that was exactly how I thought of myself, and it took me a long time to overcome this complex of mine.
