Monsieur Dior, founder of Dior, took the world by storm with numerous creations, including the "New Look" launched in 1947. His only autobiography, "DIOR by Dior," written by Christian Dior himself 67 years ago, is being republished in its entirety with a new translation by Rumiko Kawashima. Published in 1956, one year before his death, this first and final autobiography offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at the House of Dior and a unique portrayal of the world of Parisian haute couture in the 1950s. It covers his childhood in Granville, his family and close friends, his most difficult years and sudden success, as well as his sources of inspiration and creative process. Beginning with a preface by curator and Western fashion historian Akiko Fukai, this book offers a glimpse into how Christian Dior built the House of Dior and brought elegance to the world during his short 10-year career as a couturier.
