‘The most important feature of my life – I would be both
ungrateful and untruthful if I failed to acknowledge it immediately – has been
my good luck; and I must also acknowledge my debt to the fortune-tellers who
have predicted it.‘
Christian Dior (1905-1957) found fame with his
first collection in 1947 when the ‘New Look’ took the world by world by storm.
This charming autobiography gives a fascinating insight into the workings of the
great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile
establishment. First published in English in 1957, this updated translation features extra text from the original French edition, not before included in the English edition. Three plate sections include drawings by Dior, behind-the-scenes images from the atelier and stunning fashion photograph from Irving Penn, Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton and others.
Originally published in English in 1957, with an updated translation by Antonia Fraser, this beautifully designed new edition features drawings by Dior, behind the scenes images from the atelier and stunning fashion photography by Irving Penn, Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton and others.
