'Dior by Marc Bohan'

To mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the house of Dior, Assouline presents a series of seven volumes that are each devoted to an iconic designer at the couture house. Supplemented with beautiful photography — including imagery of uncovered treasures photographed exclusively for this series — alongside commentary and anecdotes from esteemed fashion journalists, this book focuses on Marc Bohan's three decades at the helm of the house. Across the pages of this compendium, the designer's interpretation of Christian Dior's vision of femininity is explored via over 300 sublime images by Laziz Hamani, obtained through extensive travels to museums, institutions and private collections across the world. The result is an unprecedented series of dress 'portraits' that exquisitely reflect Bohan's inspirations and influences, and which also show the evolution of the house under the designer.
