Christian Dior was a French fashion designer who founded the iconic fashion house

Dior in 1946. He was known for his elegant, feminine designs, and his use of luxurious

fabrics and intricate details.

    Some of his most famous designs included in the book are:
  • The "New Look" silhouette - Dior's debut collection in 1947 featured a new silhouette

that emphasized the female figure, with nipped-in waists, full skirts, and rounded

shoulders. This look was a departure from the boxy, utilitarian styles of the wartime era,

and it quickly became a sensation.

  • The Miss Dior dress - this elegant, off-the-shoulder cocktail dress was inspired by

Dior's love of flowers. It featured a fitted bodice and a full, flared skirt, and it was often made in soft, romantic fabrics like silk and tulle.

This beautifully illustrated book for every lover of fashion includes never to be forgotten images of Christian Dior's designs, and illuminates the talent of the man who was France's most unpredictable and spectacular fashion designer.
