Marie Antionette was born as the Archduchess of Austria, aswell as being the Dauphine of France from 1770 to 1774, and Queen of France and Navarre from 1774 to 1792. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis I, Holly Roman Emperor.
Marie Antionette is a key historical icon within Christian Diors work. She has been known to influence not only the Miss Dior fragrance with her admiration for the natural world and all of the things that surround it, but also Marie-Antionette and her private domain, the Petit Trianon, inspired the Dior makeup creations of this season, with luxurious Macaroon shades and Fontages bow, which present the atmosphere of Versailles and its flourishing gardens, beautifully.
I love the way that Christian Dior uses iconic figures to influence his products and how he allows the consumer to not only own a beautifully produced product, but also learn about the iconic historical references behind it.
