Description
Christian Dior's influence on the fashion world has endured long after his passing, cementing his status as one of the most celebrated designers of all time. During wartime, Dior's designs not only survived but thrived, liberating women from restrictive clothing and redefining femininity. His 'New Look' collection, hailed as a revolutionary shift in fashion, restored Paris' reputation as the epicentre of style.

His post-war collection was a defining moment in fashion history, and his influence can still be seen today. This book explores Dior's remarkable story, revealing the factors that contributed to his success and the enduring legacy of his designs. Through his own words and the stories of those who knew him, Dior's remarkable journey is revealed, offering a unique insight into the life and work of one of the most iconic designers of the 20th century.
