Christian Dior
Francoise Giroud, Sacha Van Dorssen
translated from French (Editions du Regard)
Thames & Hudson, London 1987, 342 pages, 25x33cm, ISBN 978-0500014301
euro 120,00
The English-language edition of a beautifully-illustrated monograph on Christian Dior. The book begins with an essay on Dior and his fashion house, accompanied by archival photographs of the designer, the fashion shows and his world. A collection of photographs of Dior's creations - the clothes, jewels and drawings - reveal the grace and beauty of his post-War designs. Photographers featured include Horst, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Louise Dahl-Wolfe and many others.
Il aura suffi de dix ans pour que Christian Dior prenne place parmi les cinq personnes les plus connues au monde. Le 12 février 1947, Christian Dior présentait sa première collection. Le New Look était né qui offrait à la femme, au sortir de la guerre, les délices d'une silhouette délicatement féminine vêtue d'interminables métrages de riches étoffes. Le génie de Christian Dior tient sans nul doute à son amour de la femme, qu'il habilla peu à peu de la tête au pied, à son exigence d'un travail parfait rarement égalé, à son intuitive compréhension de l'époque dont il précédait les désirs. Dior prit très vite l'ampleur qu'on lui connaît aujourd'hui et qui reste la griffe parisienne de la Haute couture par excellence. Ce livre se veut l'image même d'une légende dont Françoise Giroud, d'une plume vive et cursive, nous relate l'étonnante histoire.
