Since being appointed the first female creative director of Dior in
2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri has infused the illustrious fashion brand
with a strong current of femi-nism. Her approach is at once
refreshing and needed, while still paying homage to the avant-garde
ethos that has been at the heart of the house since its founding by
Christian Dior in 1947. This beautifully produced volume presents
160 images by leading female photographers such as Nan Goldin,
Sarah Moon, Brigitte Niedermair, Coco Capitan, Vanina Sorrenti,
Julia Hetta, Katerina Jebb, Zoe Ghertner, and Bettina Rheims. The
women creators featured among these pages represent the breadth of
style and diversity upheld by the Maison Dior. Thought-provoking
quotes and poems from inspirational women Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Linda Nochlin, Claire Fontaine, Judy Chicago, and Tomaso Binga, to
name a few accompany the striking photographs. Showcasing Chiuri s
haute couture and ready-to-wear collections from 2017 to 2021, Her
Dior captures the creative director s innovations at the house
where, for the past five years, she s reclaimed the narrative
creating Dior fashions for women, by women.

A sumptuous treasury of Dior scarves.
Plain and elaborate, commonplace and precious, fashionable and
timeless, masculine and feminine: Dior’s silk scarves form a unique
visual repertoire and cover a gamut of palettes, themes and styles. The
epitome of Parisian chic, they express the poetic imagination of the
creative directors who have shaped the destiny of the house, from
Christian Dior to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Unveiling the history and artistry of Dior’s scarves from the first
designs to today, this sumptuous book celebrates their incredible
variety and beauty as never before. At its heart is an atlas of over
400 scarves, organized by theme and printed on a delicate paper that
replicates the texture of the scarves themselves. Dior’s creative
director Maria Grazia Chiuri, who has overseen the creation of this
volume, contributes a foreword. The atlas is supplemented by exclusive
visual essays from renowned photographers Brigitte Niedermair and Pol
Baril, as well as texts by distinguished fashion historians Maria Luisa
Frisa, Claire Allen-Johnstone, Elda Danese and Emilie Hammen.
From vibrant opulence to graphic harmony, every scarf conveys a mood
and every one tells a story. Those stories are now brought together in
a book that will delight all aficionados of this symbol of timeless
elegance.

With specially commissioned photography, this unprecedented volume
celebrates a legacy of accessories design by the legendary couture
house of Valentino. This lavish tribute to the couture house of
Valentino's accessories line is exceptionally timely: since the
long-time accessories team, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo
Piccioli, took over as the creative directors for Valentino in
2008, the house has experienced record-breaking success and
received international acclaim. Known for their daring approach
redefining femininity, Chiuri and Piccioli's continuance of
accessories design has only magnified the line's popularity.
Equally important is Chiuri and Piccioli's transformation of
traditional Italian handcraftsmanship into a new international
barometer of glamorous design. By infusing the highest quality
materials and crafts with streetwise attitude, their accessories
have become some of the most coveted items in the fashion world.
Valentino: Objects of Couture showcases commissioned images and
artworks by various well-known artists-David Bailey, Luisa Lambri,
Nobuyoshi Araki, Duane Michals, Scheltens & Abbenes, Philip
Lorca di Corcia and Douglas Gordon-of over 300 of the house of
Valentino's most well-known accessory designs. Art directed by
REM-Ruini e Mariotti and along with an insightful essay by the art
curator Francesco Bonami, this work presents a rich volume in
celebration of Valentino's exquisitely designed collections. This
book is perfect for devotees of fashion, style, photography, and
glamour, and also anyone who understands that a Valentino handbag
or heels, even when paired with jeans, is statement-worthy.
