Author Description

This book reveals both the public and the private worlds of Dior. It evokes the designer's creative process, from inspired sketch to finished garment, and paints a portrait of the man himself. Illustrations include dresses from private collections and fashion plates of the day. Every aspect of the Dior's output is covered, from the hidden structure of the undergarments to the finishing touches of embroidery and beadwork, as well as accessories, jewellery and perfumes.
