Christian Dior : Designer of Dreams - RIZZOLI
An extraordinary book celebrating the unique connection between the House of Dior and the United States.
Published
on the occasion of the retrospective staged at the Brooklyn Museum,
this new title chronicles the history of the House of Dior from 1947,
when Chris-tian Dior heralded the birth of a new era of elegance with
his revolutionary New Look, to the present day, with a special focus on
the House’s legacy in America.
Featuring a sophisticated Swiss
binding, this book presents the exhibition’s highlights with creations
by Christian Dior and the artistic directors who succeeded him: Yves
Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons,
and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Captured by artist Katerina Jebb, some of the
House’s most legendary designs are displayed in highly unique images. A
portfolio of iconic photographs by American masters—including Richard
Avedon, Cass Bird, Henry Clarke, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Zoë Ghertner, Ethan
James Green, Tyler Mitchell, Irving Penn, and many more—underscores
Dior’s undeniable cultural influence.
