Dior was a huge misogynist and while the looks he made and sold were beautiful and well made, the attitude he sold, he sold it so well that he knocked women back into the kitchen for another two decades. So... i can't say I'm a huge fan even though i've seen many of his garments from the era close up (the Chicago History Museum actually has a great collection of original Dior garments from the late 40's and early 50's in their study collection) and can attest to their absolute technical and aesthetic glory.
