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.

Vogue Paris has always been so much more than a fashion magazine.
It has assumed a central and vital role on the international
cultural stage, with a history that spans the most inventive
decades in fashion and taste, and in the arts and society. It has
acted as a cultural bellwether, putting fashion in the context of
the larger world in which we live and mirroring its times – the
postwar renaissance of Paris and haute couture, the New Wave, the
radical seventies, the glamorous eighties. As it enters its second
century, it remains at the cutting edge of photography and design.
Published to mark the magazine’s centenary, this book celebrates
Vogue Paris’s history from its first issue in 1920 to its current
incarnation with Emmanuelle Alt at the helm. On its pages are
creations by some of the greatest artists of their era, whether
distinguished illustrators such as Lepape, Gruau and Benito, or
photographers such as Man Ray, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Mario
Testino. Here, too, are iconic faces: Catherine Deneuve, Audrey
Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Kate Moss and more. And of course, it
showcases the fashion designers who defined the century – Chanel,
Dior, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, McQueen – and explores more
broadly the changing mores of the past hundred years.
