dior the legendary images2Published to accompany an exhibition of the same name being presented from May 3 to September 21 at the Musée Christian Dior in Granville, France, “Dior: The Legendary Images: Great Photographers and Dior ” is more than just a coffee table book. It is a history book; it is a labor of love; it is about artistry to the nth degree.

Those who work in the fashion industry already know that there is synergy between the photographer, the designer and the model. A photo shoot is not just about showing the best angle. It is about telling the story wherein the storyteller is the designer, the model is the heroine and the photographer decides which facet of the story is going to be told.

That is the reason why “Dior: The Legendary Images: Great Photographers and Dior ” is an important publication and a must-have volume in your library, not just to read but also as a reference. It is about the House of Dior and its elegant past that is also catapulting it to the future.

It is about the photographer interpreting the unique styles of the Creative Directors of the House of Dior beginning with Monsieur Dior himself. It is a journey undertaken not alone but by many. It is after all, the House of Dior!
