Dior Catwalk: The Complete Collections

by FURY ALEXANDER/SABAT

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. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Dior before exploring the collections themselves, which are organized chronologically. Each new 'era' in Dior's history is inaugurated by a brief overview and biography of the new designer, while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book. After Chanel, Dior is the second volume in a 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. - Dior Catwalk By Adelia Sabatini, Alexander Fury (Hardback)

Ugh

J’ADIOR

just careful with the Galliano though because if it’s not Great then you could definitely ask

“Do you prefer 'fashion victim' or 'ensembly challenged'?”

Look up Dior’s 2021 Spring Couture because Maria Grazia does storybook magic so well it’s beautiful!

Some biographical information about Christine Dior is included along with a
short explanation on each of his many collections. His changing and
evolving styles keep this an interesting book. Several other designers
[i.e., Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, etc.] are additionally highlighted in
this book. An easy read with images illustrating different design features
of the collections.

I LOVE this book with my entire life. Ive been really into fashion especially fashion design and illustrations for the past few years and this is by far the most creative and inspirational catwalk I have read so far. It not only shows great expressions in the pieces themselves but it tackles topics such as feminism in a really artistic way.

5 stars for the amazing cloths of John Galliano for Christian Dior.

It was a real pleasure to see the evolution at Dior, designer after designer.

Those books collections are a must have.

Please the next one can it be McQueen, or Givenchy or Fendi ?

Christian Dior is often regarded as a designer who loved women, and his reverence is apparent in his designs. if this is true, than the same can be inferred of John Galliano, who based on his years’ work at the heritage house ABSOLUTELY HATED WOMEN. It seems to me Galliano’s creative vision at Dior was just to strip women of their dignity.

Spring/Summer 99’s Communist inspired line? Fall/Winter 00’s “Freud/Fetish” line?? By now we all know Galliano is a well known racist (and his collections never hid this), but now learning that he’s also a weirdo freak too… pick a struggle @ Galliano.

Love to see how the brand stays consistent yet reinvents themselves throughout the years.
