Christian Dior was a fashion icon starting in France and later through the world. He started in post war France working with established designers. Later he moved on to start his own design house and Yves Saint Laurent got his first break working with Dior. We had to stand in line even though we had tickets beforehand. There was an additional line for the folks who did not have tickets. They would let two non-ticket holders in for every 10 ticketed visitors. Once we got inside we were blown away. What a great experience.
