"Never in the history of fashion had a single designer made such a revolution in his first showing." Time
In 1947 Christian Dior rocked the fashion world with his New Look, which dominated postwar fashion and firmly secured the name of his house in the minds of the public and the industry. Based on new research, this absorbing and beautifully illustrated book examines the seminal years of Christian Dior, 1947 to until his death in 1957, from a truly international perspective.
Dior drew on historical models of femininity and utilized the unique skills of the Parisian haute couture in textiles, embroidery, cutting, and sewing techniques to produce stunning designs that captured the new mood of optimism after World War II. Dior also designed and marketed ready-made luxe lines and broke new ground by creating and controlling innovative licensing agreements for all Dior products, from perfume to stockings, jewelry, bathing suits, and even men's ties.

Christian Dior illuminated the fashion world in 1947 with his "New Look" collection, which made him both a household name and secured his place as a legend amongst his peers. His revolutionary re-evaluation of femininity in fashion embodied the post-war optimism, and was shocking in its use of elaborate embroidery and vast amounts of fabric (it screamed 'rationing is over!'). For those who couldn't afford his haute couture pieces, there was also a ready-to-wear line, along with branded merchandise such as perfume and swim wear. Palmer has taken a fresh look at Dior's history between 1947 and 1957, and delves into both his artistry and his ingenuity as a businessman. As you can imagine, the illustrations are pretty fabulous, but this is a genuinely fascinating read and not just a picture book.
