Dior’s exquisite and marvelous creations have dressed celebrities around the world for generations and this rich history calls for a celebration. As sophisticated as the designs themselves, this new book from the famed and luxurious French house focuses on the extraordinary people that have led to the creation of these celebrated designs through rarely-seen and never-before-seen imageries, as well as letters from Dior’s archive.

From Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Rihanna and Natalie Portman, you will have the opportunity to discover the stars that inspired the house’s couture and helped build its rich history. This book also features designs created by Christian Dior and other head designers that succeeded him, from Yves Saint Laurent to Raf Simons – making for your perfect source of inspiration in the matter of high-style.
