Book Reviews of Christian Dior
Book Review: Dior
Summary: 4 Stars
Francoise Giroud's book about Christian Dior is one of the best studies of the great couturier and his fashion house. The text is highly informative and there are plentiful illustrations and photos (color and black and white) of Dior's creations, clients, friends, homes, etc, in short everything that was part of his life. There is also information about the designers who worked for the house after Dior's death, Yves Saint-Laurent and Marc Bohan.
What I didn't like about the book is that there are a number of close up photos of gowns. Close ups are great so that one can see the details, but they're pretty useless if not accompanied by a full length view of the garment.
