The star
The couturier stumbled on a star on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris on his way to a meeting with Marcel Boussac, who had agreed to finance a fashion house in his name. He saw it as a sign of destiny!
Christian Dior used the star as a subtle motif on his dress Bonne Étoile for the Haute Couture Spring-Summer 1952 collection.
