Dior
Dior is the French form of the phrase dior.
Did you know?
- While Dior is a proper name, the word d'or sounds identical and means 'of gold'. This phonetic coincidence has long been used in French wordplay to link the luxury brand with the most precious of metals.
- In French culture, the name Dior is synonymous with 'haute couture', a legally protected term in France. Only a few houses can officially call themselves 'haute couture' under strict government regulations.
- In French, the name Dior is often paired with the word patrimoine to describe the brand as a piece of national heritage rather than just a company.
