Книги о моде и фэшн дизайне

In 1947 Christian Dior rocked the fashion world with his New Look which dominated post war fashion and firmly secured the name of his house in the minds of the public and the industry. He drew on historical models of femininity and utilized the unique skills of Parisian haute couture in textiles, embroidery, cutting and sewing techniques to produce stunning designs that captured the new mood of optimism after the war. 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, jewellery, bathing suits and even men’s ties.

Based on new research, this absorbing and beautifully illustrated book examines the seminal years of Christian Dior, 1947–57, from a truly international perspective.

Найбільш незмивні зображення одягу та портретів Dior від Річарда Аведона з 1940-х до 70-х років, включаючи багато фотографій, які раніше не публікувалися.

Однією з його найплідніших спільних робіт була співпраця з будинком Dior, яка починається з 1947 року, відразу після того, як дім високої моди штурмом захопив паризький світ моди.

Цей розкішний том включає 150 культових і багато ніколи раніше не публікованих фотографій Аведона, на яких зображені гламурні моделі та знаменитості, зокрема Марлен Дітріх, Сьюзі Паркер, Санні Хартнетт, Довіма, Кармен Делл'Орефіс, Доріан Лей, Капусін, Лорен Хаттон, Анжеліка Х'юстон і Барбра Стрейзанд. Зображення Аведона документують моду Dior, а також історію моди з 1940-х до 70-х років. З поглядом на моменти витонченості, драматизму та гумору, а також майстерність світла та контрасту, Avedon вловлює суть елегантного дизайну Dior, стиль та індивідуальність культових жінок, які їх носили, і неймовірні моменти у фотографії, які заінтригують любителів фотографії, мистецтва та моди.

The outstanding elements of Dior’s style for every generation since 1947, presented in an inspired narrative of classic and contemporary photographs, together with some exquisite unpublished rarities

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 and Raf Simons have all made their distinctive contribution. In these pages, the most beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples of the house’s creations from each decade.

The legendary fashion house continues to represent the best taste in couture, honouring the past – as Christian Dior himself did in the 1940s and 1950s – and celebrating the present with undisputed elegance and panache.
