Little Book of Dior

In stock
Sale price$35.00

Little Book of Dior is the beautifully illustrated story of Christian Dior's early life, the brand's inception, the triumphs of the couture collections on the catwalk and the red carpet, and the brand's journey after the death of its founder. Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the Parisian haute couture scene is one of the most compelling stories of twentieth-century fashion.

Dior's debut haute couture collection invented the New Look silhouette and revolutionized the way women dressed, shopped and saw themselves. The House of Dior's unique style blended traditional artisanal tailoring and intricate embellishment with 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, from Yves Saint Laurent to Maria Grazia Chiuri today, who steers the brand as it stays true to its identity of opulence, femininity and drama. Stack it with its sister titles from our 'the little book of' fashion series.
