Happy Birthday D'iora


Christian Dior and Germany 1947-1957 


(Hardcover) by Adelheid Rasche was gifted to me on my Birthday in March. I thought I knew all there was to know of Christian Dior's legacy and I was thrilled I didn't... as I love surprises! For me, Dior is an icon and an inspiration, the book is immaculately presented in text and full-page photography focusing on the height of his career in post-war Germany also highlighting the unique costume jewellery designs of the time. Nothing compares to Dior's vision and silhouette, a must have book, c'est fantastique!
