After presenting his debut collection in 1947, Christian Dior was immortalised in the world of fashion. His New Look emerged following the hardships of the war, and in mesmerising the entire world it upturned the modern codes of elegance. Its questioning of form and silhouette was revived, after his prenature death, by the great couturiers who succeeded him: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano and latest Raf Simons.
Taking an entirely original approach to fashion and photography, Jérôme Gautier follows the interplay between Christian Dior’s most emblematic works and the most recent collections. This fascinating game of back and forth is documented in this remarkable work. Dior as such Zeitlose Eleganz exposes how the legendary fashion house continues to embody the quintessence of haute couture while honouring the past, as Christian Dior did in the 1940s and 1950s, pairing modernity with unparalleled elegance and panache.
The disctinctive Dior style inspired generations of designers. This fashion book gives us an opulent look at eight decades of timeless fashion designs from the house of Dior. Inside of this deluxe, oversized volume book you’ll find over 170 stunning photographs of some of the greates fashion photographers of he past half century including Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Patrick Demarchelier, Horst P. Horst, Sarah Moon, Jeanloup Sieff, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, Nick Knight and Tim Walker. A must-have for every fashion and style lover.
