此包是品味蒐藏人士而生，當然命名由來也毫不馬虎，Dior Babe得名自美國傳奇般的風格象徵Babe Parley致敬，她不只是美國60年代的時尚指標，同時還被《TIMES》時代雜誌將她列為僅次於溫莎公爵夫人後最具品味的衣著人士，今日就來介紹這位傳奇名媛的不凡事蹟。

1. Babe Parley是誰

Babe Paley 1915年出生於波士頓，爸爸是神經外科之父Harvey Cushing，她出生在世界知名腦外科醫生家庭，上有兩位姊姊一位嫁給了鐵達尼號上最有錢的富翁John Astor之子；另一位成了羅斯福總統的兒媳，家庭背景本身就挺不凡的。

而從小就被送去上藝術學校的Babe，高中畢業後便去了紐約《Vogue》擔任編輯，所以除了有名的身份背景外，她還多了一道時尚頭銜，雖然僅上班兩年後來嫁給第二任丈夫CBS之父電視與廣播業的先驅William S.Paley便離職，不過在《Vogue》上班的日子也讓她累積了不少人脈和品味。

附註：Babe的第一任丈夫是石油大亨之子StanleyGrafton Mortimer，據傳是因為Babe的媽媽不太喜歡他，所以兩人結婚僅六年便已離婚收場。

2. 開創了平價服飾與高級定製服混搭的穿著

婚後老公William S.Paley相當疼愛Babe，所以任由老婆花費大筆金錢來打造自己的「美學」，但向來有精準眼光的Babe也順利打造出屬於她自己時尚風範，不只可以駕馭高級訂製服，同時她也可以著裝充滿鄉村風格的棉布衫、草帽、船型鞋等；又或者到了海島，她會以緊身褲印花上衣配針織外套，吸引到全世界人的目光；甚至Babe最出名的即是把頂級的Tiffany珠寶搭配平價成衣，也讓她成功拿下2次《TIMES》最具品味的衣著人士評選。

3. Babe首創把絲巾系在Hermès手把上

除了穿上西裝外套、西裝褲配David Evins設計的長靴風靡全球外！Babe Parley還首創把絲巾繫在Hermès包包的手把上，不只在當時便引發全球時尚人士效仿，甚至流傳到今日變成一種「Hermès」代表，可見Babe Parley在時尚圈的影響力。

4. 到去世前，都還在經營著自己

直至1974年，Babe被診斷出肺癌，儘管承受巨大的痛苦，她仍與朋友和社交圈保持應酬，甚至她還親自為自己的葬禮定好了食物、酒單等，以便在自己的葬禮上也能讓身邊的親朋好友享受到最高級的食物，並且她還將自己的珠寶、個人物品用可愛的彩色紙包裝起來，詳細分配誰能在自己過世後擁有它們。到了1978年7月6日，就在Babe Paley 63歲生日後的幾天，肺癌最終奪走了她的生命，結束她華麗的一生。

5. 用極大的努力營造出一種看似毫不費力的優雅

Babe Paley (Mrs. William Paley), of New York, a perennial on the list, is tied for first place with movie star Grace Kelly on the newest roster.

Babe努力著經營自己60多年，後世對Babe的評價為「用極大的努力營造出一種看似毫不費力的優雅」但她也因為這種生活方式，得到不少負面聲浪。像是許多人都說他和老公William S.Paley其實並不如外界看到的這麼恩愛，因為William S.Paley是猶太人所以他想要靠著Babe進到上流社會，而Babe則是需要William S.Paley的財富來打造完美的自己。甚至她的女兒Amanda也在母親去世後表示：「她們的關係很不友好，Babe並沒有履行她身為母親的義務。」在追求社會地位的同時忽視了自己的孩子，令人不勝唏噓。
