We have been left in suspense ever since The Business Of Fashion rumoured that Christian Dior were going to appoint their first female creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, (appropriate name choice if you ask us).

And now it has been finally confirmed that Dior will appoint her as their first ever female creative director.

Chiuri will take the reigns from Raf Simons, who left the company in limbo following his departure in October.

Chiuri had been working as co-designer at Valentino alongside partner Pierpaolo Piccioli, and will now make history for women as the first female creative director in Dior’s 70 years in business. Piccioli will remain at Valentino as the sole Creative Director following Chiuri's departure.

And with that in mind, here's everything you need to know about Dior's new creative director:
