The turning point of the year 67, that is to say the year when the Stones took the bet of the total freedom in front of the ridiculous and outdated laws of Great Britain… “This book constitutes a real police investigation and reveals, forty-five years later, heaps of dirty tricks carefully passed under silence at the time” notes the editor!

Today, it may sound funny, but in 1967, the drug law was not a joke. For a blunt and 4 amphetamine pills, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards found themselves in jail. A little party that ended badly. It’s a good thing the cops didn’t know that before the search, the guests had been high on LSD! As for Brian Jones, let’s not talk about it: the persecutions he was subjected to by the authorities only aggravated his already weakened mental health. For three years, the young people had been pissing off the old people with their pop music, their long hair, their pirate radios, their drugs and their decadent way of life (until 1967, homosexuality was still punishable by prison). The latter were determined to take their revenge on these pimps and girlies who were rolling in money while hollering yeah yeah yeah. This book is a real police investigation and reveals, forty-five years later, a lot of dirty tricks that were carefully ignored at the time!

Dior by Marc Bohan
195.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
A slightly lesser-known figure than Yves Saint Laurent or John Galiano, Marc Bohan nevertheless contributed, from 1960 to 1988, to making Dior the highly revered house it is today. With his slightly more ethereal silhouettes, Marc Bohan left behind designs that are as sophisticated as they are timeless. And this book sheds new light on that period – a period documented and explained in the words of Jérôme Hanover, Christian Dior’s Director of Publications.
Authors: Jérôme Hanover, Laziz Hamani
Publishing House: Assouline
Publication Date: April 2018
Of all the great Parisian couture houses, Dior is perhaps the most famous and prestigious in the world, embodying Christian Dior’s sublime vision of femininity. Following the abrupt departure of Yves Saint Laurent, the understated elegance of Marc Bohan’s design outlook regrounded the house of Dior on its original foundation of soft, ladylike, feminine silhouettes, which appealed to women around the world, from American socialites and international celebrities to royalty.
Dior by Marc Bohan is the third volume in an unprecedented series of books devoted to each designer of a couture house, the ultimate compendium of the most memorable haute couture creations conceived and handcrafted by the renowned house of Dior since its inception. Carefully conserved in the world’s great museums and institutions, these fashion treasures have been photographed and exclusively compiled for this indispensable collection.
