Published seven years after Dior’s New Look revolutionized postwar fashion, this book’s subject matter is faithful to its title. Christian Dior reviews fellow designers such as Schiaparelli, Chanel, and Balenciaga. He also lays out what goes into producing a collection, which he acknowledges is both a creative and a business enterprise.

“A painter may risk only his canvas and his beefsteak, but I would be risking the livelihood of 1200 people if I made an unbalanced collection.”
