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 fashion industry. He drew on historical models of femininity, the unique skills of Parisian haute couture, and a myriad of suppliers to produce stunning designs that captured a 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 global licensing agreements for all Dior products, from perfume to stockings, jewellery, bathing suits, and even men’s ties.

Newly expanded and updated to accompany the V&A Exhibition Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams, this absorbing and beautiful book examines the seminal years of Christian Dior, 1947–57, from a truly international perspective.

This elegant volume — featuring silver gilded pages and an open spine binding so that it lays flat to show off the photographs to their best advantage — explores Dior's long history of creativity, beauty, and success through a celebration of one of our most profound emotions.

"Women, with their ever-sharp instincts, understood that I not only wanted to make them more beautiful but happier too." — Christian Dior

Since 1947, through its haute couture and fragrance collections, the House of Dior has enhanced the lives of women by bringing them moments of resplendent beauty. On the radiant faces of Dior's models and muses, and through the exuberance of its creative studios and runway shows, joy shines like a bouquet of fireworks and luminous smiles. Through this emblematic selection of iconic illustrations and behind-the-scenes images from fashion shows and workshops, this beautifully crafted volume traces Dior's recurring themes of creativity, the inspiration of nature, friendship, and success. Drawing from Dior's own archives and from those of fashion's greatest photographers, the book presents privileged moments graced by the women and men of Dior who express the house's eternal joie de vivre.

An inspiring text drawing from literature, philosophy, and Dior's creative history, celebrates the many facets of an exalted state of being, providing the unique perspective that resides at the heart of this beautiful book.

Published to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest couture houses, this gorgeous book combines Christian Dior’s classics with the newest creations

Christian Dior achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and reset the boundaries of modern elegance. Dior’s search for the perfect line and the ideal silhouette has been celebrated by couturiers of the first rank: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri have all made their distinctive contribution.

This book honours Dior’s influence by celebrating the elements of style for every generation since 1947, through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs. Six thematic chapters express outstanding Dior characteristics, including the silhouette, the evening gown and the eternal muse - in short, the aspects of the House that lend it unique distinction both then and now. The most beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples of the house’s creations through the decades. The resonance between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date frames is clear and compelling.

In Japanese culture, this veneration of beauty is closely linked to the purity of the soul.

Featuring a catalog of works curated by acclaimed jewelry historian Diana Scarisbrick, as well as all-new photography by Nils Herrmann, this volume presents for the first time 250 treasured pieces that have passed through the skilled hands of this unique collector, including a selection of masterpieces now held in the Qatar Museums collections.

Never look at makeup in the same way again. This is a revolutionary creative masterclass formulated to match YOU from top Makeup Artist Dominic Skinner.

Having watched Dom’s shrewd eye on BBC Three’s Glow Up, you’d be forgiven for thinking his first book is all about precision and perfection. After decades in the beauty industry, Dom has mastered the art of makeup so that you don’t have to. In this book, Dom introduces his philosophy: break the rules, go wild, and stick a finger up at convention.

So forget the tired, one-size-fits-all idea, and open your mind to creative techniques that work for you, with these three inspired steps:

- Change It Up: Makeup is a means of self-expression. Dom begins with 20 challenges to have fun with. Cover yourself in glitter, try a monochrome approach, be inspired by your favourite sweet wrapper – these challenges will make you think about make-up in a whole new way.
- Create Your Look: Once you’ve had a go with these, you’ll learn why some looks worked, and others didn’t, by learning all about balance, symmetry, colour theory and more. This will help you create a finessed look for a party, a festival or even just for a day at home. 
- Sharpen Your Skills: Develop your looks and finesse your techniques, with Dom’s expert tips on how to get the little details just right.

Dominic Skinner’s Glowography is a brand-new makeup philosophy where everyone is welcome – no matter your age, race, gender or ability. Whether you want to break existing beauty habits or you’ve never worn makeup before, this is the book that will give you all the expertise and confidence you’ll ever need.

About the Author:

Dominic Skinner is a judge on BBC's hit show Glow Up, now in its 5th series.

As much as skills and styles matter when it comes to design, every visual begins with a fundamental element that can be enhanced or expanded into an aesthetically pleasing and meaningful piece of work. Whether they serve as simple points of focus or building blocks for complex patterns, these elements present countless possibilities when combined with purpose and principles like contrast, balance, rhythm, and white space.

Going back to the basics, Dot Line Shape is a comprehensive collection of projects that manifest the three elements in inspiring and ingenious ways to bring unique creative visions to life. No matter how trends or platforms change over time, they serve as timeless components that provide designers and artists around the world with infinite means of expression to make a lasting impact.

From delicate dogwood blossoms to hardy oak and maple leaves, this collection of stained glass lampshade patterns offers a glorious assortment of original designs. Beautiful but not overly detailed, the easy-to-replicate designs ensure a successful finished product for stained glass artists and hobbyists.

The four-sided panel-construction shades, most of them four-sided, feature motifs that flow in a continuous fashion to form an overall pattern. Less rigid than the prairie style commonly associated with panel shades, the designs are much easier to re-create than the complicated Tiffany styles. Simple yet elegant patterns include foil overlays that add a special flair to the designs, which use standard-size vase caps that can be resized for a variety of bases
