Grace of Monaco: Princess in Dior
35.00 €
Icon-Icon Opinion :
Before she became Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly dazzled the world with her Hollywood films — and it was Dior, with Marc Bohan, that designed many of her movie outfits. This is the first book that gathers all the dresses that showed Grace Kelly’s classical elegance… Dresses that also tell some parts of Dior’s history and the golden age of Hollywood cinema. This goes to show that a dress can be about more than just a matter of taffeta.
Authors : Florence Müller, Frederic Mitterrand, Brigitte Richart

A singular look into Grace of Monaco’s stylish life through the exceptional dresses that the house of Dior created for her over the years.
Grace Kelly’s life may have transformed from that of a Hollywood star to Princess of Monaco, but her status as a style icon remained constant throughout her life. There is perhaps no better record of this than her close thirty-year-long relationship with the illustrious house of Dior.
