The World According to Christian Dior

Known for creating some of the most luxurious and spectacular haute couture models ever, Christian Dior became an overnight fashion icon in 1947 with the launch of his "New Look" - sumptuous hourglass silhouettes that were a much-needed pick-me-up after wartime hard times. The wild success and global recognition that followed were built on the designer's subtle understanding of fashion, couture, style, elegance and women - a perspective and insight best expressed in Dior's own words, collected here for the first time.

Rightly described as a "dream designer" in the recent magnificent exhibition on the Dior house, which attracted millions of visitors worldwide, Christian Dior was an unrivalled broker in the world of high fashion. Dior was generous with his advice on everything from style and dressing to his insight into the creative process, which is invaluable to any budding designer.
