Why we have selected this book:

In 1947, Christian Dior, a talented but then little-known fashion designer, presented his first collection under his own name. He became famous overnight. Although Dior ran his fashion house for only 10 years, his romantic, past-inspired approach to fashion is forever etched in fashion history as the New Look. In this book, Dior himself looks back on his life, the creation of his fashion house and his early years of work – this is one of the most famous fashion autobiographies of all time.

Book Overview from the Publisher:

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.
