Description

Christian Dior is a stunning volume that celebrates the House of Dior from its foundation in 1947 to the present day. The book showcases the iconic fashion house's most memorable creations, including haute-couture gowns and spectacular fashion shows.

Atmospherically photographed by Laziz Hamani, the book features archival material, including design sketches by Christian Dior, and press and fashion photography. Introductory texts by V&A fashion curator Oriole Cullen provide colorful context to each section, exploring Dior's creative collaborations with influential British manufacturers and his most notable British clients.

The book also revisits Dior's spectacular fashion shows staged in England's most luxurious stately homes, including at Blenheim Palace in 1954. A must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the House of Dior.
