Nicole Kidman says special Australian ‘fertility water’ helped her conceive.

The ‘Moulin Rouge!’ actress – who welcomed daughter Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban, into the world in July – credited the liquid from the town of Kununurra, West Australia, where she was filming new movie ‘Australia’, for aiding her and six other women on set to fall pregnant.

Nicole – who also has two adopted children, Isabella, 15 and Connor, 13, with ex-husband Tom Cruise – said: ‘I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child but it happened on this movie. Nothing happened in a small way on this film. We had heat and torrential rains and equine flu and then I got pregnant.

‘Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy. There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now.’

The 41-year-old actress – who stars alongside Hugh Jackman in Baz Luhrmann’s epic film – also admitted she was surprised at how easy her labour was.

She added to The Australian Women’s Weekly magazine: ‘I’m so lucky I’m so tall, so I carried small and also, I have to say, I had a birth that I was blessed with, a labour that was very good and a baby that was very good to me in that regard ‘They say that an easy labour is genetic, so I’m grateful for that because it was beautiful and Keith was my rock through it all. To be given this again is a beautiful thing. To have raised Bella and Connor since I was 25 and now to be able to do it again at 41… wow!’ (from: http://www.music-news.com)

Christian Dior was a man known for his creative ingeniousness. Coming from a family which dealt with manufacturing chemicals and fertilizers, he streamed right in the opposite direction but quite effectively making a name for himself in the fashion fraternity which conferred him a lot of accolades for his artistic way of dealing with clothes. He was a master of his trade leaving no loose ends to complain about. Though his style was different from the usual, it was this uniqueness which gave him an impetus to make his designs viable globally. He had brought with his designs a revolution in women’s attires once again making Paris as a centre of the fashion industry.

Christian Dior was an influential fashion designer and the founder of the Doir Empire. Born on January 21, 1905 in France, he attended the École des Sciences Politiques to fulfill his parent’s wishes. Though his family wished that he would become a diplomat, much to there surprise their child was more interested in art rather than being a diplomat. To make money he used to sell his fashion sketches at 10 cents each. He opened a small art gallery in 1928 from the money he received from his father. But due to the family’s financial disaster he was forced to close his gallery and worked with Robert Piguet and later joined the fashion house where he and Pierre Balmain were the primary designers. In 1945 he went into business for himself, backed by Marcel Boussac, the cotton-fabric magnate. He opened his own fashion house in 1946 and presented his first collection by the name “Corolle” which popularly gained the name New Look. Known for his sensual looks given to attires, he was a master in creating shapes and silhouettes. He died on october23, 1957.

The company expanded not only in terms of stores but also ventured into new forums. After his death his company was managed by his grand daughter who made the company reach new heights. Some of the awards won by the company include: Neiman Marcus award, Dallas (1947), Remise de la legion d’honneur a Christian Dior (1950), Parsons School of Design Distinguished Achievement award, New York (1956), Fashion Industry Foundation award, to the House of Dior, New York (1990).
