Which newspaper published Christian Dior’s early fashion sketches?

Le Figaro published Christian Dior’s early fashion sketches. Before becoming a major couturier, Dior earned money by selling fashion illustrations to newspapers and magazines in Paris.

These drawings provided an early outlet for his interest in clothing and design. Dior had originally studied political science and moved through several creative and commercial activities before fashion became his principal career.

Le Figaro was an established French newspaper, not a couture house. Dior’s later employment with designers such as Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong gave him professional experience in fashion, while his sketches helped support him during his earlier years.
