Dior's career, a veritable fairy tale, is set in a rich tapestry of Paris cultural life before, during, and after the war. Much of Dior's daily inspiration emanated from the world of the intellectual and artistic elite, in which be moved with such people as Erik Satie, Francis Poulenc, Henry Sauguet, Jean Cocteau, and Raoul Dufy. Born at the end of an era in which luxury seemed reserved only for the happy few, Dior again revolutionized the world of fashion by introducing, in the early 1950s, "ready-to-wear" in his Dior Boutique. Until then, couturiers had worked essentially if not exclusively for the very rich and famous. With his boutique, Dior brought high fashion to the world at large. Marie-France Pochna guides us skillfully through the constellation of Paris high-fashion luminaries: Lanvin, Balenciaga, Lelong, Hermes, Givenchy, and Jacques Fath. Rivalries and gossip might have divided the fiefdoms, but absolute perfection in design and high standards of fashion united the Paris "family" of haute couture. From 1947, when the House of Dior was established on Avenue Montaigne near the Champs Elysees and burst upon the scene following its first collection, we follow the Duchess of Windsor, Olivia de Havilland, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman, and many more society celebrities and film stars - all Dior clients - to their fitting rooms.

Miss Dior is a wartime story of freedom and fascism, beauty and betrayal and 'a gripping story' (Antonia Fraser). 'Exceptional . . . Miss Dior is so much more than a biography. It's about how necessity can drive people to either terrible deeds or acts of great courage, and how beauty can grow from the worst kinds of horror.'DAILY TELEGRAPHMiss Dior explores the relationship between the visionary designer Christian Dior and his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous perfume and shaped his vision of femininity. Justine Picardie's journey takes her to wartime Paris, where Christian honed his couture skills while Catherine dedicated herself to the French Resistance and the battle against the Nazis, until she was captured by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of Ravensbrück.Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of resistance and sisterhood. She discovers what it means to believe in beauty and hope, despite our knowledge of darkness and despair, and reveals the timeless solace of the natural world in the aftermath of devastation and destruction. 'Extraordinary . . . Picardie uses her investigative reporting skills . . . the result is Netflix-worthy and the pace page-turning . . . Catherine's story shines - the quiet Dior who preferred flowers to fashion, the unsung heroine who survived the abuse of the Third Reich to help liberate France.'SUNDAY TIMES

Peu avant sa mort soudaine en 1957, Christian Dior, alors au faîte de sa gloire, entreprit de publier ses Mémoires où, avec humour et style, il retrace le destin exceptionnel d'un homme qui, inconnu un jour, célèbre dans le monde entier le lendemain, révolutionna la mode. Rien, pourtant, ne semblait l'y prédestiner. C'est sur le tard que, pressé par la nécessité, il s'initie à la gravure de mode, puis travaille avec les plus grands. En 1946 (il a alors 41 ans), naît la maison Christian Dior. Quelques mois plus tard, sa première collection rencontre un succès immédiat et éclatant: son existence en sera irrémédiablement bouleversée. C'est ce parcours hors du commun que, dans un style surprenant d'élégance, Christian Dior nous fait découvrir. Il nous invite à passer les portes du 30, avenue Montaigne pour assister à la naissance d'une collection ou pénétrer dans les coulisses d'un défilé. Et, surtout, il dit ses intuitions géniales, avoue ses doutes, ses audaces, son obsession du détail et du travail soigné, tout ce qui en fit l'un des plus grands noms de la haute couture.
