Christian Dior (1905-1957) found fame with his first collection in 1947 when the "New Look" took the world by world by storm. This charming autobiography gives a fascinating insight into the workings of a great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment.
Originally published in English in 1957, with a translation by Antonia Fraser, this beautifully designed new edition features three updated plate sections, including iconic photographs of Dior creations by Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton and Horst P. Horst.
