Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book gathers together, for the first time, every Dior haute couture collection, including also ready-to-wear collections after the arrival of John Galliano (when ready-to-wear presentations took on a new importance), and the first two collections designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, appointed in 2016. It offers the reader the opportunity to chart the development of one of the worlds most famous fashion brands and discover rarely seen collections. The text opens with a concise history of the house of Dior before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new era in Diors history is inaugurated by a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
