This book gathers together， for the first time， every Dior haute couture collection， including also ready-to-wear collections after the arrival of John Galliano （when ready-to-wear presentations took on a new importance）， and the first two collections designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri， appointed in 2016。 It offers a unique opportunity to chart the development of one of the world's most famous fashion brands and discover rarely seen collections。 This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house of Dior before exploring the collections themselves， which are organized chronologically。 Each new 'era' in Dior's history is inaugurated by a brief overview and biography of the new designer， while individual collections are introduced by a short text unveiling their influences and highlights and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images。 A rich reference section， including an extensive index， concludes the book。 After Chanel， Dior is the second volume in a series of high-end， cloth-bound books that offer a complete and unrivalled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photography。 - Dior Catwalk By Adelia Sabatini， Alexander Fury （Hardback）
