Description : Twenty-five admirably determined women! They have dared, created, innovated and worked hard to impose themselves in the world of fashion and luxury. Dresses, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry… They also stood up to men and nothing resisted them!
They made fun of taboos and conventions and their success story is a thrilling picture of more than a century of fashion business. They take us into the great mass of collections, make us witness the launch of a perfume, their titanic battles to bring out the beauty, whether it is an ornament or a line of makeup.
Jeanne Lanvin, Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Mme Grès, Nina Ricci, Carven, Donatella Versace, Sonia Rykiel, Laura Ashley, Chantal Thomass, Vivienne Westwood, Diane de Fürstenberg, Stella McCartney, Helena Rubinstein, Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, the Carita sisters, Hélène Rochas, Annick Goutal, Gloria Vanderbilt, Lolita Lempicka, Jeanne Toussaint, Paloma Picasso, Victoire de Castellane… each one has sublimated the woman in her own way. But do we know the other side of the coin, made up of personal sacrifices and humiliations?
Through their destiny, Bertrand Meyer-Stabley, long-time journalist for Elle and author of numerous books on fashion, and Laurence Catinot-Crost, historian, take us to the heights of elegance.

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.
