In 1946, on rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in Paris, the young Christian Dior found a small star on the ground. He took this find as a good omen: he was on the right path! He was asked to revive Philippe & Gaston, a former glory of haute couture, then in bankruptcy. He chose to create a new brand under his own name. Thus, Dior was born. Today, the company is entering its eighth decade.
This book celebrates the revolutionary designer: his childhood, his ups and downs during World War II, as well as the beginnings of an iconic house that seems eternal as it continues its brilliant trajectory. Christian Dior's creations brought an unprecedented touch of glamour, femininity, and boldness to post-war fashion and the following decades. This beautiful book presents, through more than 60 pieces, accessories, and events, the legendary and timeless designs of Christian Dior and those of the genius designers who succeeded him.
