Christian Dior and I

Christian Dior (1905-1957) rocketed to fame with his first collection in 1947 when the "New Look" took the world by storm. This charming and modest autobiography gives a fascinating and detailed insight into the workings of a great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment. It is also a unique portrait of classic Paris haute couture of the 1950s and offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes. Dior details his childhood in Granville, the family and friends closest to him, his most difficult years and sudden success, as well as his sources of inspiration and creative processes.

The Autobiography of Christian Dior

Dior

Self-portrait of a noted artist in clothes design and his alter ego, a quiet philosopher.

Christian Dior and I.

Thierry Dussard

En 1947 il a changé les codes de l'élégance mondiale. Il voulait rendre les femmes plus belles et plus heureuses, et il a créé un style inimitable fait de rêve et d'enchantement. Il a fondé une maison qui est devenue, en quelques années, le symbole absolu de l'élégance, de l'excellence et du luxe. Christian Dior est une figure emblématique du XXe siècle, mais que sait-on de l'homme dont le grand public ne connaît que les créations et le style aux racines tellement parisiennes ? Ses pensées sur les femmes, la mode, la vie nous révèlent un homme aux multiples facettes, sensible, profond et drôle.

"This volume showcases the perfumes of Christian Dior against the backdrop of his life--the Belle Epoque of his youth, the "Roaring Twenties" of his young adulthood and the postwar period of his success as a fashion designer and perfumer. From 1946, before his first collection had even been debuted, Dior was interested in perfume, launching the iconic Miss Dior fragrance (along with the perfumer Paul Vacher) in 1947, and later gaining great success with fragrances such as Diorissimo, Eau Sauvage, Poison and J'Adore." -- From Amazon.
