Description: This is a lavishly illustrated, sparkling portrait of Christan Dior, the creator of the New Look, with an introduction by John Galliano. Dior, the legendary French fashion designer, caused a worldwide sensation in 1947, reintroducing the flowing, ankle-length skirt. Dior gave women back their long-lost sense of freedom, femininity, and joie de vivre. Dior's collection with its pinched waste and generous folds of fabric, was dubbed the New Look by the press, especially the American fashion journalists. Dior was crowned The King of Fashion, and he immediately reestablished Paris as the center of the fashion world. With elegance, precision, and impeccable research, Marie- France Pochna recreates this one-of-a-kind world of glamour and luxury and situates Dior's fairy-tale career in the rich tapestry of Paris cultural life. Translated from the French in 1996 by Joanna Savill. All proceeds go directly to the Friends of the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington, Vermont. Thank you for supporting our library!
