Psychogios 26253 the Little Books of Fashion: Dior

Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the Parisian fashion world is a truly fascinating story. A man of the arts with a contemporary vision steeped in the traditions of French haute couture, in his first collection in 1947, Dior launched the New Look and brought about a real revolution. The book presents the life and work of Christian Dior, the triumphs of the haute couture collections on the catwalk and the red carpet, and the course of the fashion house after his death. A carefully selected collection of photographs combined with text by fashion expert Karen Homer capture the journey of a brand known today as the ultimate in sophistication, luxury and femininity.
