Dior - A New Look

This is no ordinary book about Dior. No focus here on Dior's history from A-Z, but on the designs themselves.

Fashion experts take a fresh look at more than 40 Dior creations and talk about the makers, wearers, technology, conservation, publicity and important women for Dior. Christion Dior himself led his fashion house, founded in 1947, for only 10 years, but conquered the world in that short time. The designers who followed in his footsteps, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and now Maria Grazie Chiuri, remained true to his Dior DNA. The New Look, the Dior line, Dior's love of flowers and, of course, Dior Dream are covered. Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first female chief designer for Dior, is known for her feminism and the stage she offers to female artists. Dutch photographer Vivianne Sassen was therefore asked to create a photo series focusing on work by Christian Dior and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Maria Grazia Chiuri considers herself ?a curator of ideas?. The photo series, in which her work enters into a dialogue with that of Christian Dior, shows what this means to her.
