Dior by Dior by Christian Dior

Christian Dior rocketed to fame with his first collection in 1947 when the `New Look’ took the world by storm after years of wartime austerity. 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 the 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.

'Monsieur Dior's descriptions of the craft, personnel and performances of couture at its grandest are proper reporting from the front line of fashion' The Guardian 'A must-have for any fashionista, this is a delightfully humble account by the creator of Dior' Irish Tatler 'a fascinating insight into the workings of the man and his famous fashion house', Paul Smith, Daily Express

Christian Dior opened The House of Dior in 1946 and launched the 'New Look' in 1947. Dior brought the centre of the fashion world back to Paris, where he reigned over the fashion world until his death in 1957.
