was also able to begin working in the fashion world when Maria Grazia Chuiri, Dior's first female creative director, asked her to shoot the AW18 collection. The collection recreated the 1968 student protests where the models marched like an army. There Spengler was able to build trust with the models immediately due to her background and achievements. She referenced the trust back to a shoot she did with an Iranian woman during the 1979 Islamic revolution - "If a man was trying to photograph women he would be deemed a spy and only be able to capture artificial sides of women in war." Spengler has won several prizes for her work as a reporter, in particular, the SCAM Prize (Paris) for her report on women in the war in 1998 and the Femme de l'Année (Woman of the Year) Prize in Brussels in 2002. She had a major one-person retrospective exhibition in 2003 at Visa pour l'Image in Perpignan, France. Publications Christine Spengler, Une femme dans la guerre, éditions Ramsay, 1991.
