FRENCH VERSION
This book showcases for the first time the priceless personal collection of Dior designs that Alaïa assembled over decades-pieces by Christian Dior as well as the artistic directors that followed him at the helm of the House. The collection is analyzed through chapters dedicated to the elements that awakened the curiosity of Alaïa's collector genius: the construction of the dresses-their "architecture"; the enchanting multitude of the color tones and textures of the fabrics and materials; and the poetry of the names of Dior's creations revealing the diversity of his sources of inspiration, such as Accacias, Astarté, Caracas, Chérie, Jardin anglais, Madrid, Marcel Pagnol, Rose des vents, or Tourbillon.. Illustrated by beautiful photographs of the dresses, historical archival images, drawings by Christian Dior, and collection charts detailing fabric samples and sketches, this book offers a fresh view of Alaïa's influences and Dior's history and will appeal to fashion lovers everywhere.
