À propos de cet audio

 Christian Dior's career, a veritable fairy tale, is set in a rich tapestry of Paris cultural life before, during, and after the war. Much of Dior's daily inspiration emanated from the world of the intellectual and artistic elite, in which he moved with such people as Erik Satie, Francis Poulenc, Henry Sauguet, Jean Cocteau, and Raoul Dufy.

Born at the end of an era in which luxury seemed reserved only for the happy few, Dior again revolutionized the world of fashion by introducing, in the early 1950s, "ready-to-wear" in his Dior Boutique. Until then, couturiers had worked essentially if not exclusively for the very rich and famous. With his boutique, Dior brought high fashion to the world at large. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the "New Look", New York's Metropolitan Museum mounted a major Dior retrospective in the winter of 1996-97.

Translated from the French by Joanna Savill.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An elegantly written, sparkling portrait." (Publishers Weekly)

This was an interesting biography in that the author didn’t know much about her subject before she decided to start researching… it made me wonder if she could possibly write as thorough a piece as someone who knew him, worked in the industry, or had at least had a lifelong fascination with the man. It was ok, but Dior never really came alive to me, and I think this may be why.

Fairly good
