Oriole Cullen curates a visual and textual journey through Dior’s most iconic designs, detailing the birth of the “New Look” and its revolutionary redefinition of post-war femininity. The book illustrates Dior’s mastery of silhouette, fabric, and form, while contextualizing his work within the broader evolution of haute couture and the house’s enduring legacy. Cullen argues for Dior’s role not merely as a designer but as a cultural architect who shaped ideals of elegance, luxury, and modern identity.
