Dior
Meaning
from the French surname/fashion house Christian Dior
The story
Dior is the fashion house worn as a name, the surname of the designer whose New Look remade the postwar silhouette, and it files in the label register our records already chart: Armani, about 27,400, carries its own story here. Dior's record is young and genuinely shared: about 810 in the 2000s, 2,500 in the 2010s, and already 3,700 so far this decade, past the full 2010s with years to run, running about 2,500 girls to 1,200 boys this decade, about 5,300 to 2,100 all-time. The label register states an aspiration the way the title register states a rank: the certificate borrows the shine and the child decides what it means. A couturier's surname, a shared certificate, and a record still mid-fitting: the hem is not finished rising.
