Under the direction of the renowned milliner Stephen Jones, who has
been working with Dior since 1996, this book explores Dior s
relationship with the art and craft of creating hats. Christian
Dior himself, who began his career by designing headpieces, wrote
in his Little Dictionary of Fashion: A hat is essential to any
outfit. It completes it. In a way, a hat is the best way to express
your personality. Published on the occasion of the 2020 exhibition
at the Musee Christian Dior in Granville, France, this
sophisticated illustrated volume celebrates more than 70 years of
exquisite creations. Opening with a focus on hats designed by the
legendary couturier Christian Dior, the book develops to include
the headdress created by the house over the years, exploring its
pieces by styles, shapes, and inspirations from floral and exotic
to masculine, traditional, or romantic. Dior hats have always been
expressions of sophistication, from the first millineries that were
part of the New Look silhouette, to the Venetian masks imagined by
Yves Saint Laurent, the exquisite toques by Marc Bohan, the
dramatic boaters by Gianfranco Ferre, the flamboyant and
extravagant realizations by John Galliano, the graphic neck bow by
Raf Simons, and the romantic designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Stephen Jones reviews such fashion history and reflects on his
prolific relationship with the house. His insightful texts are
accompanied by contributions by fashion specialists Alexander Fury,
Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni, and Florence Muller, and enlivened by
drawings and photographs from Dior s archives, shots by the most
famed fashion photographers of the last decades, such as Richard
Avedon, Erwin Blumenfeld, Mario Testino, and special,
never-before-published images by Solve Sundsbo.
