Discover the elegance and excellence of Christian Dior's creations in the new 'Dior Couture' Book made by renowned French photographer Patrick Demarchelier. The book features over one hundred outstanding pieces including dresses designed by Dior himself.
On 12 February 1947 Dior launched his landmark first fashion
collection for the spring/summer season. Called 'New Look', after
the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar Carmel
Snow's exclamation "It's such a New Look!", the collection
represented a turning point in women’s dress after the Second World
War. Since then, Dior Haute Couture managed to remain the ultimate
symbol of elegance and exquisiteness.
Now, we have the chance to see over one hundred incredible, dreamy
gowns from the entire era of Christian Dior haute
couture in the 'Dior Couture' Book lensed by famous French
photographer Patrick Demarchelier, known for his amazing fashion
portraits that grace the pages of Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, or
Glamour.
The 240-page book includes stunning pieces designed by Dior himself
and continuing with the oh-so-whimsical creations of his successors
Yves Saint Laurent, Marc
Bohan and John Galliano.
Speaking about the project, Demarchelier said that, "When you're a
fashion photographer, you must inspire a dream. With Dior Haute
Couture, the dream is already there."
Shot in beautiful locations like Shanghai, Times Square, New York,
the grand staircase of the Paris Opera House, and the garden of the
Musée Rodin, the 'Dior Couture' Book features famous top models
like Gisele Bundchen, Karlie Kloss,
Magdalena Frackowiak and Sasha Pivovarova, but also
charming actress Charlize Theron. Artist Jeff Koons wrote the
preface of the book that goes on sale starting November at £70/
$112/ €82.
