Dior Catwalk: The Complete Collections

Product Information

Jerome Gautier put together the most beautiful creations from Dior's designs, since his launch in 1947. An elegant collection of Christian Dior’s maxims on style, women and inspiration, presented in a fashionable gift format. Marlene Dietrich trug seinen Namen nach Hollywood, wo er begeistert von Schauspielerinnen wie Lauren Bacall aufgenommen wurde. Endgültig den royalen Olymp erreichte Dior, als Margaret sich anlässlich ihres 21. Geburtstages in ihrer Dior- Robe von Cecil Beaton fotografieren ließ. Dior’s new coffee-table book, In Bloom, examines the endless inspiration that the designer has found in the world of flowers. In the 1940s, Dior called his “New Look” silhouette, which featured cinched-in waists, “Flower women.” Lily of the valley (Dior’s rumored favorite flower) appeared as an embroidered embellishment on some of the brand’s earliest creations, like an organdy white evening dress from the 1957 haute couture spring-summer collection. Dior’s subsequent creative leads have also embraced botanicals in their work. In 2012, Raf Simons made his haute couture debut with a floral-heavy collection, presented in front of walls made of blue delphiniums, white orchids, roses, and peonies. Dior’s house perfumer, Francois Demachy, also uses flowers in his work, and champions biodiversity and female farmers.

Dior Coffee Table Books - Series Books | ASSOULINE

Credited with creating some of the most luxurious and spectacular haute couture pieces of all time, Christian Dior became a fashion icon overnight in 1947 with the launch of his ‘New Look’ - sumptuous hourglass silhouettes that provided a welcome tonic to the austerity of wartime. Its wild success, and the global fame that ensued, was built on the designer’s subtle understanding of fashion, couture, style, elegance and women - a perspective and insight best revealed in Dior’s own words, which are gathered here for the first time. Many thanks to Will, his wife...and HarperCollins for the most beautiful book I've ever received as a gift. I'm overwhelmed.... THANK YOU!!!! Indem sie sich vom gleichen inspirieren lassen, was schon Dior selbst den Weg gewiesen hat: von der Natur und den Frauen. I honestly had not looked at woman's fashion - ( the designers and photographers ), in the same light - I have other artists, musicians and authors. Only because I was naïve and unaware.
