Christian Dior: Designer Of Dreams by Florence Muller and Olivier Gabet

Original catalogue to the Paris exhibition and now a core part of the blockbuster retrospective at the V and ampA. and 2017 marks the 70th anniversary of the House of Dior. It was in 1947 that Christian Dior presented his first collection and heralded the birth of a new fashion silhouette for women. After the austerity of the war years, the cinched waistlines, full skirts and soft shoulders of the New Look came to embody a revival of Parisian luxury.
