Book description
'The most important feature of my life - I would be both ungrateful and untruthful if I failed to acknowledge it immediately - has been my good luck; and I must also acknowledge my debt to the fortune-tellers who have predicted it.' Christian Dior (1905-1957) found fame with his first collection in 1947 when the 'New Look' took the world by world by storm. This charming autobiography gives a fascinating insight into the workings of the great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment. First published in English in 1957, this updated translation features extra text from the original French edition, not before included in the English edition. Three plate sections include drawings by Dior, behind-the-scenes images from the atelier and stunning fashion photograph from Irving Penn, Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton and others.
