From the trailblazing New Look silhouette in 1947 through to their exquisite red-carpet couture and feminist T-shirts, Dior's pieces have been worn by everyone from Sophia Loren to Natalie Portman. The last word in elegance and celebration of the female form, the House that changed the course of fashion history continues to make it today. With 100 stunning images and expert text, Little Book of Dior explores the spectacular rise of the House of Dior from its evolution under Christian Dior's creative direction right up to his successors, from Yves Saint Laurent to Maria Grazia Chiuri.
