THAMES & HUDSON Dior Catwalk 70th Anniversary Book

This book gathers together, for the first time, every Dior haute couture collection, including also ready-to-wear collections after the arrival of John Galliano (when ready-to-wear presentations took on a new importance), and the first two collections designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, appointed in 2016. It offers a unique opportunity to chart the development of one of the world’s most famous fashion brands and discover rarely seen collections.

• Discover or rediscover over 180 Dior collections, from luxurious haute couture to trend-setting ready-to-wear, presented through original catwalk photography. • After Chanel (ISBN 978 0 500 518366), the second book in the ‘Catwalk’ series of high-end, cloth-bound books that offer a complete and unrivalled overview of the collections of the world’s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography. • Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and, most recently, Maria Grazia Chiuri have each designed for the house and reinterpreted its codes for successive generations. • Over 1,000 looks as they originally appeared in Dior’s iconic fashion shows, styled as the designer intended (from hair and make-up to jewelry and accessories) and sported by the world’s top models.
