DIOR CATWALK BOOK in Bloomington, MN

This book gathers together, for the first time, every Dior haute couture collection, including also prêt-à-porter collections after the arrival of John Galliano (when prêt-à-porter presentations took on a new importance), and the first two collections designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, appointed in 2016. It offers an 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. Following Chanel, Dior is the second volume in a series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer a complete and unrivaled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
