THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN DIOR - PATRICK...

An elegant collection of Christian Dior¿s maxims on style  women and inspiration  presented in
a fashionable gift format. Credited with creating some of the most luxurious and spectacular
haute couture pieces of all time  Christian Dior became a fashion icon overnight in 1947 with
the launch of his `New Look¿ - sumptuous hourglass silhouettes that provided a welcome tonic to
the austerity of wartime. Its wild success  and the global fame that ensued  was built on the
designer¿s subtle understanding of fashion  couture  style  elegance and women - a perspective
and insight best revealed in Dior¿s own words  which are gathered here for the first time.
Rightly described as the `Designer of Dreams¿ in the recent blockbuster exhibition on the house
of Dior that attracted millions of visitors the world over  Christian Dior was an unrivalled
arbiter in the world of high fashion. Dior was generous with his advice on all things  from
style and how to dress (`No elegant woman follows fashion blindly¿  he once declared)  to his
insights into the creative process  invaluable for any budding designer. Presented in a
beautiful package and accessible format  The World According to Christian Dior is the perfect
gift for fashion fans  publishing on the occasion of the house¿s 75th anniversary.
