Little Book of Dior
This richly illustrated entry in the stylish series tells the story of groundbreaking designer Christian Dior and the fashion house he founded.
Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of Parisian haute couture is one of the most compelling stories of twentieth-century fashion. An art gallerist with a contemporary vision, Diorâs debut collection invented the ânew lookâ silhouette and revolutionized the way women dressed, shopped, and saw themselves. The House of Diorâs unique style blended the traditional, artisanal skills of the French fashion houseâtailoring and intricate embellishmentâwith a modern sensibility. Dior himself helmed the company for only a decade, but it has flourished under the creative direction of some of the most storied names in fashion. Currently, Maria Grazia Chiuri steers the brand as it stays true to its identityâof opulence, femininity, drama, and what Christian Dior called âthe complete look,â from garments to perfume and shoes. Little Book of Dior tells the story of Christian Diorâs early life, the brandâs inception, the triumphs of the couture collections on the catwalk and the red carpet, and the brandâs journey after the death of its founder.
