Little Book of Dior

The Little Book of Dior is a beautiful illustration of Christian Dior's early life, the story of the brand's origins, the triumphs of his collections on the catwalks and red carpets, and the brand's journey since the death of its founder. Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the pinnacle of Parisian haute couture is one of the most compelling fashion stories of the twentieth century. Dior was an artistic gallerist with a contemporary vision who invented the silhouette of the 'new look' with his first haute couture collection, revolutionising the way women dressed, shopped and perceived themselves. The unique character of the House of Dior combined the traditional craftsmanship of the French fashion house - tailoring and intricate embellishment - with a contemporary refined sensibility.
