Release date : October 2021
Is it a coincidence that in Latin Roma, upside down, reads Amor? No, of course: how could it be otherwise? For centuries, if not millennia, all the desires and dreams of humanity have converged upon it, which, without Rome, would not be what it is. How many cities can brag about having such an influence in the course of history? Rome ! The name alone today still makes you dream. As he made dream artists and writers who described it or painted it always with passion, this book is the reflet of this passion. As it is intended to reflect the incredible diversity of representations and evocation of the city: its ruins and its skies, its gardens and its narrow streets, its churches, its palaces, its light, and of course its population, always extraordinarily alive…
Together with painters and writers, this book invites you to explore Rome, the Eternal city, but also the most beautiful city in the world.

Description :The triumph of an eternal house, seventy years after its spectacular first show.
On February 12, 1947, a young house named after its founder, Christian Dior, presented a spring-summer haute couture collection in a Paris still in the grip of winter cold. The creations were shown in a salon freshly painted in dove gray at 30 Avenue Montaigne, a historic and mythical address. This is the novelty that Dior symbolizes for fashion in general, and for Paris in particular. These codes, this visual language have fascinated the many successors of the designer: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, but especially John Galliano, and since 2017 Maria Grazia Chiuri. Their task has been, season after season, to find a new voice through the vocabulary of Dior.
