Description

Christian Dior is a stunning volume that celebrates the House of Dior from its foundation in 1947 to the present day. “One of the must-have books dealing with the history of Maison Dior.” —Jeffrey Felner, New York Journal of Books Haute-couture gowns by Christian Dior and the illustrious creative directors who followed him—Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri—are showcased here, atmospherically photographed by Laziz Hamani. Archival material—including design sketches by Christian Dior—and press and fashion photography provide colorful context, amplified by introductory texts to each section by V&A fashion curator Oriole Cullen. The book looks at Dior’s creative collaborations with influential British manufacturers, and his most notable British clients, from Princess Margaret to author Nancy Mitford and ballet dancer Margot Fonteyn. It also revisits Dior’s spectacular fashion shows staged in England’s most luxurious stately homes, including at Blenheim Palace in 1954. Read more

  • Beautiful book
We were at the museum in London where this exhibit was being shown but didn’t want to pay the cost for the exhibit or the book at the time. But luckily we were able to get the book on Amazon for a great price and still see a lot of the pieces in the exhibit. It’s a really nice book.

  • Great book but expensive
Purchased because I love to learn about fashion. And I chose this one because it looked great as decoration too. It has a great cover to showcase, but expensive for a book with a ton of full page pictures.
