... that Svetlana Lloyd accidentally became a model for Christian Dior, after wandering into his Paris boutique looking for a receptionist job? Source: "Lloyd found herself one of Dior's 15 house mannequins after walking the streets of Paris looking for work as a shop assistant. The former ballerina was instead whisked upstairs, popped into a dress and presented to the man himself. She started the next day." (and [1], and “I’d gone to look for a job as a receptionist, because I spoke French, but before I knew it, someone whisked me upstairs and had me putting on clothes. I was given a chit to have my hair done, and told how to do my makeup—you had to do it yourself in those days—and report back for work the next day.” [2]
