| Summary: | Christian Dior's first collection in 1947 heralded the birth of a new fashion silhouette for women. Here, seventy of the most memorable looks created by Christian Dior and his successors, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri, have been specially selected and photographed in intimate detail. This essential volume also features those designs in original sketches, runway shots and fashion shoots by the world's greatest fashion photographers, including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, William Klein and Helmut Newton. Exploring the classic elements of Dior in depth, the book covers the concept of line and architecture in fashion, the influence of history and art and the use of color, gardens and landscapes as sources of inspiration. |
