Valentino Creative Director Leaving The Next Stop Is Really Going To Dior.

Since Raf Simons announced to leave Dior, who will be the next creative director of Dior has been unresolved.

It has been rumored to be one of Valentino's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, and today's news has been confirmed that Dior's chief executive, Sidney Toledano, confirmed to reporters that Maria Grazia Chiuri will become the seventh creative director of Dior.

In fact, no one should have been surprised by the result. Not long ago, Valentino just confirmed the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri, when it was widely believed that her new boss would be.

But the funny thing is, this is mostly women.

In the industry, creative directors are mostly male, and Maria Grazia Chiuri will become the first female creative director of Dior.

Maria Grazia Chiuri has a very stable resume. Since joining Valentino in 1999, she has been working as a accessory designer.

In 2003, she and Pierpaolo Piccioli were first selected as the creative creative director of Red Valentino, a lively and sweet line.

In 2008, after the retirement of founder Valentino Garavani, two people were promoted to the creative director of the main line.

Since then, Valentino has undergone some major changes in the capital and market level.

In 2012, Valentino was bought by the royal family of Qatar for 700 million euros.

Maria Grazia Chiuri and her partner helped Valentino achieve great business success. In 2015, sales exceeded $1 billion, and it was 1 billion dollars ahead of schedule.

Perhaps thanks to years of experience in the accessories design department, Maria Grazia Chiuri has been designing Valentino rivet shoes for many years during its term of office.

Nowadays, switching to Dior, Dior and Maria Grazia Chiuri will not be an inconsistent combination, because there are many similarities between Dior and Valentino in terms of design style.

At the moment, we can recall who has dominated the design of Dior and served as its creative director.

Yves Saint Laurent 1957 - 1960

When he was a Dior designer, he was only 21 years old. He was at risk, but he founded his personal brand after three years.

Marc Bohan 1960 - 1989

Dior was the longest designer during his term of office, though he finally remembered that he had few people.

In fact, after him, the luxury brand industry basically entered the era of capital game.

Gianfranco Ferr 1989 - 1997

John Galliano 1997 - 2011

It should be the most famous one who was fired for "anti Jewish" speech.

Bill Gaytten 2011 - 2012

Cooperating with John Galliano for 23 years, it is more like a pitional role.

Raf Simons 2012 - 2015

After Raf Simons joined Dior, Dior took a special record of how he made the first high definition Dior and I. Now he is running his own brand name.
