This book gathers together for the first time every Dior haute couture collection including
also ready-to-wear collections after the arrival of John Galliano (when ready-to-wear
presentations took on a new importance) and the first two collections designed by creative
director Maria Grazia Chiuri appointed in 2016. It offers a unique opportunity to chart the
development of one of the world's most famous fashion brands and discover rarely seen
collections. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Dior
before exploring the collections themselves which are organized chronologically. Each new
'era' in Dior's history is inaugurated by a brief overview and biography of the new designer
while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and
highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section
including an extensive index concludes the book. After Chanel Dior is the second volume in a
series of high-end cloth-bound books that offer a complete and unrivalled overview of the
collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
