NEW YORK, NY - The pinnacle of French haute couture and savoir faire, the house of Dior is one of the world's most celebrated luxury brands. In three retrospective volumes presented in a collectible slipcase, Assouline's Dior captures the most enduring images from each decade of the brand's rich history.
Dior, a three-volume slipcase set, recounts the history of one of the world's most celebrated luxury brands. Christian Dior envisioned a world of sophistication and elegance, a complete expression of the French tradition of high culture, artistry, and meticulous workmanship.
"I think of my work as ephemeral architecture," said Christian Dior, "dedicated to the beauty of the female body." Immortalizing Dior's fashion, fine jewelry, and fragrance collections, Assouline presents an objet as chic as its subject.??
