The Little Dictionary of Fashion: Christian Dior

Christian Dior writes in his introduction, “Much has been written about fashion, in all its aspects, but I do not think any couturier has ever before attempted to compile a dictionary on the subject. Of course, it would take volumes to cover the entire field of Fashion, but I have compiled a book which I think is neither too long, so that it becomes tedious, nor too short so that it seems insufficient... I think it should be of great practical use to the women of today”.

First published in the 1950s and filled with timeless advice, this landmark edition was published for the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Golden Age of Couture exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dior’s “New Look” and illustrated with delightful photographs and drawings. This handbag-sized classic is the perfect gift book for any style-conscious women.
