DIOR

Ah, the great Dior, by which all other 20th century designers measured themselves against; from Yves St. Laurant to Coco Chanel, they all viewed Dior as the master. Even today his name is synonymous with style and elegance. This book is thorough and well written, Dior was a fascinating man and he is really fleshed out here. Very good book on a singular talent.
