About

Jorn Langberg was a Danish fashion designer. Nicknamed the ‘Dane at Dior’ he brought the French belief in simplicity of form, painstaking craftsmanship and attention to detail to his creations, but also a sense of fun.

Born in 1930 in southern Denmark, Langberg moved to London in 1953 studying Fashion at St Martin’s College of Art where he graduated with a first. He was asked to become chief designer at Christian Dior, London, in 1965 and a year later he was made director in sole control of the house. He changed fashion history by creating Diorling, a ready-to-wear range that brought a designer label within the reach of a new type of customer. He died on March 12, 2014.
