Wise words of a legendary designer

Christian Dior is regarded as the creator of some of the most luxurious and impressive haute couture designs of all time. In 1947, he became a fashion icon overnight with the creation of his "New Look." The subsequent worldwide fame was largely due to the couturier's subtle understanding of fashion, style, elegance, and women—a perspective best expressed in Dior's own words, which are compiled here for the first time. This elegant gift book brings together numerous insights from Christian Dior, ranging from how to dress to his thoughts on the creative process.
