Christian Dior: History and Modernity, 1947 - 1957 Hardcover – 25 April 2019

This book is worth it's price.It is a very detailed, beautifully photographed book full of technical detail and photographs of the inside of the dresses. If you are interested in couture methods, this is a good book.There are lots of dresses that are not to be found in other books and are so well photographed that there is a wealth of information to be got from them. There are also the original sketches, press photographs and scale patterns of the dresses featured.Certainly one of the best books on Dior.My only gripe is that using a black backdrop to photograph black dresses is not the best thing you could do and even if you stand at a window to get the best daylight to look at these particular photos, they are more than obscure, but the rest of the book makes up for it.Highly recommended.
