Dior: Couture

I just finished watching a watching a documentary about Dior, and had to have a book. He was a lovely man who inspired lovely fashion.

Gorgeous! Large and heavy

I'd like to consider this book as the "Goodbye Galliano" for Dior book since a large amount of the content in this book was from Galliano's Couture collections for Dior. Amazing black and white, and color photography. Each image is impeccably rich in composition, color, personality and that clashing between frivolous looks, the narratives and bold design complement each other.It's a large, stately book that even when closed- the size and cover is something to behold. My only critique is that I wish there was more images by Patrick DeMarchelier (he's done far more for Dior couture than what this book can fill in). I wish there could be a Dior Couture Part 2 book!If you were captivated by Dior Couture from all eras, but more specifically between the late 1990s and 2000s- this is the Couture book to own. Especially for the price here on Amazon, I've seen other retailers price this book $120 - $150.

The images that Patrick created in this book are so inspiring. Dior's designs are amazing. As the place this book now lays for all to enjoy, strike conversation and remember Patrick's gift......

Seguro y profesional

I have quita a collection of gorgeous fashion books---some more gorgeous than others, but this one ranks right up there with THE Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty! I have had my eye on this since it came out late this fall and kept shopping and hoping to find it for a good price, and this was, is the best price out there. A truly beautifully pu together book with seeming endless stunning pics one after the next. This is a must have for anyone who loves Dior past and present, and for anyone who loves the beuaty and art of couture!

so pretty!

I almost cried as I turned the pages of this book! the pictures are wonderful,there is really not to much content to go along with the designs so if you are looking for that then you won't find it here, But if you are looking for stunning photographs of mostly John Gallinio's work then you will not be disappointed. It is a must have for the your fashion library it really is ,!t is nice to have some content along with the pictures,but the pictures are so beautiful that they just simply make the book a wonderful coffee table art book. At the end of the day This book is a Beautiful ,stunning collection of absolutely gorgeous photos !
