In 1947, Christian Dior profoundly transformed the world of fashion with the New Look, an innovative style that ingrained the name of the house in the public's mind and positioned the brand at the forefront of haute couture. Dior also designed and launched luxury ready-to-wear lines; he revolutionized business practices through unprecedented licensing agreements that ensured his control over all his products—from perfumes to stockings, including jewelry and swimwear. Drawing on rare archival documents, this book immerses us in the defining years of the Dior house's history, from 1947 to 1957.
