Icon-Icon Opinion :
More than just sport, tennis requires an implacable strategic scheme – the book describes the technique of the great champion Amélie Mauresmo, who reveals herself, and at the same time processes that forge the champions of this sport. Oh, how many techniques!

30 years of research and passion. A mechanical and anatomical truth. A history at the service of gestural technique. An encyclopedia from the end of the 19th century, from the whole of the 20th century and from the beginning of the 21st century until the end of 2002. 30 years of research and passion. Indeed at the beginning of my teaching between 1969 and 1972, I had the worst difficulties with my students to convince them of the most elementary technique because it was advised everything and its opposite. After a painful period when I almost gave up teaching tennis, I came up with the idea of showing photographic documents to prove the truth of what I was saying and taken in the game, I have after more than 30 years of research created a large collection on all the moves of tennis with in particular 4 files (more than 1000 pages of all the errors and incompetences made at all times and in all countries of the world) which prove that throughout the 20th century all the tennis federations of the world did not understand tennistic mechanics or tennistic technique. I show that there is a mechanical and anatomical truth and that the champions of yesterday played as the champions of today and as the champions of tomorrow will play. Throughout the 20th century the champions had a weak point and sometimes even 2 weak points which prove the incompetence of the tennis federations. In 1987, my 520-page book «TENNIS 15 ans de recherches pour une vérité» was published in 2000 copies. As I did not want my tennistic research to die in the bottom of a drawer, my 3 press articles 1) The new republic of the Pyrenees in 1983-2) Special last in 1985 3) All the news of Versailles in 1986 and this book «TENNIS 15 ans de recherches pour une vérité In 1987, not to mention L’hebdomadaire «La Semaine des Pyrénées «which produced in 1997 and 1998 about twenty articles on training and also on technical topics of all tennis moves. All these press articles and this book are evidently proof of the precedence of all my tennistic researches.

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.
