Dior by Laurence Benaim

The first book to focus on Dior's iconic design known as the New Look, which revolutionized the fashion industry. A must-have for followers and students of fashion.
"[Dior: The New Look Revolution], small and elegant, takes the reader through a beautifully illustrated chronology of the suit, from its 1955 appearance in the iconic photo by Willy Maywald in a Paris winter sceneIllustrations include an 1892 Manet painting of a woman equestrian in a nipped-waist ensemble, along with contemporary versions of coats and dresses that show its continuity. It’s a quiet book—and an essential reference for designers and fashion historians. Love it."
