This pin was given to me as a child, so it's about 60 - 65 years old ... and I have never worn it ... time to move it along. Is the 208 referring to the silver content? Does the "signature" ring any bells?
It is "Haute Couture Week" in Paris. The NY Times has posted a 'scrapbook' of designers of couture at work and play HERE. This is Jacques Fath, 1951, in his studio.

Hi Vic. I looked up this label in 'Newspaper Archives' and all the ads are from the 1950s. Many of their ads say the dresses are "inspired" by either current movie stars or movies of that time. For example, from one ad with drawings of the garments -

The horse is bucking - practically doing a hand stand (hoof stand?) with its tail in the air near the rim of the hat's silhouette. The hat is more of the classic 1920's style with the high crown. The boy has something around his neck which is in the photo as well.
Hi. Does it say 'Paris'? Is it made in France? Or is there a 'made in USA/dry clean only' tag? Is it numbered? I googled "How to spot a fake Dior" and got lots of sites to authenticate bags and sunglasses, but not clothing. Hard to tell what that is - a long sleeveless fleecy vest ?
