Dior Collections 1947-2017 (Catwalk)
"Dior: The Complete Collections" offers an extraordinary compilation of 1,146 images that chronicle the fashion house's output over the past 70 years and under the leadership of seven creative directors, as highlighted by Vogue.
In the spring of 1947, Christian Dior presented the inaugural collection of his newly established eponymous brand, soon dubbed the "New Look." This groundbreaking debut grabbed headlines worldwide and propelled Dior into becoming one of the most influential fashion houses of all time. Following the untimely passing of the couturier in 1957, Yves Saint Laurent assumed the helm of the fashion house, before being succeeded by Marc Bohan, who then made way for Gianfranco Ferré in 1989. John Galliano was appointed as creative director in 1996, designing flamboyant collections for a decade, until the arrival of Raf Simons in 2012, who reimagined the house's identity for the 21st century. In 2017, Maria Grazia Chiuri made history as Dior's first-ever female head designer, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the iconic "New Look."
For the first time, this lavishly illustrated volume compiles every Dior haute couture collection, providing a unique opportunity to chart the development of this world-renowned fashion brand and uncover rarely seen collections. The book opens with a concise history of the House of Dior, followed by an exploration of the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each new "era" in Dior's legacy is introduced with a brief overview and biography of the incoming designer, while individual collections are accompanied by short texts unveiling their influences and highlights, complemented by carefully curated catwalk images. The publication concludes with a comprehensive reference section, including an extensive index, cementing its status as the definitive authority on Dior's complete collections.
