Dior cufflinks

Christian Dior rubbed shoulders with social circles in his early youth, since he was born in 1905 into a family of wealthy industrialists. When it was ruined by the economic crisis of 1929, the young man who frequented Parisian intellectuals, opened his first art gallery in 1925. We imagine that the universe in which he grew up, mixed with his artistic temperament, have made him sensitive to the smallest detail of refinement, to the little touch that transfigures an entire outfit and gives it an unrivaled allure. He sold sketches to fashion designers and became a fashion illustrator for Le Figaro. In 1946, he founded his own fashion house. His first collection, crowned with success, gave him international notoriety. On the front page of the New York Times, he was decorated with the Legion of Honor. Dior opened a store in 1955 at 30, avenue de Montaigne. His dazzling career ended in 1957, when he was suddenly struck by a heart attack. Pierre Balmain, then the most famous designers, and today Victoire de Castellane succeed him, each time opening a new chapter, but always cultivating the style of the House. It was in 1998 that the creative director opened the Jewelry department. The youngest French jewelry house is also one of the most prestigious, and it naturally settles on Place Vendôme. It is in this immense place that your Dior cufflink was created for you.

We can guess why he occupies a privileged place within the House of Dior. And how, with the Dior label, this sometimes barely perceptible point occupies the place of the big ones.


From a usual function…

A simple accessory, the cufflink? At first, maybe. Created in the seventeenth century to close the sleeves at the wrists instead of lace, the wearing of the cufflink spread little by little. It was in the 19th century that it appeared essential: initially reserved for ceremonial outfits and other evening wear, its use became widespread to respond to a fashion where the button was not enough to close a starched sleeve that was too rigid. . It is then essential on urban clothing. Much later, in the seventies, the cufflink fell into disuse in a more pragmatic society which systematically used the button.


… for a decorative purpose…
