In 1953, Christian Dior opened his first in-store boutique in Harrods, the start of a relationship between his eponymous Parisian house and the West London department store. Monsieur Dior, a fervent Anglophile who gained renown by dressing British society figures – most memorably, Princess Margaret, a devoted client – would later host proto-runway shows in the store’s Fashion Theatre (opening in 1953, the ‘theatre’ would go on to host presentations from other international couturiers, part of an attempt to reignite the British fashion industry post-World War II).
