Published to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s
greatest couture houses, this gorgeous book combines Christian
Dior’s classics with the newest creations. Christian Dior
achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New
Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and
reset the boundaries of modern elegance. Dior’s search for the
perfect line and the ideal silhouette has been celebrated by
couturiers of the first rank: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan,
Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia
Chiuri have all made their distinctive contribution. This book
honours Dior’s influence by celebrating the elements of style for
every generation since 1947, through inspired pairings of classic
and contemporary photographs. Six thematic chapters express
outstanding Dior characteristics, including the silhouette, the
evening gown and the eternal muse - in short, the aspects of the
House that lend it unique distinction both then and now. The most
beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples
of the house’s creations through the decades. The resonance
between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date
frames is clear and compelling.
