Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
First published in 1993 in France, this English translation of Marie-France Pochna's biography of Christian Dior appears in time for the 50th anniversary of Dior's debut in the world of fashion and coincides with a retrospective of Dior's design work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a biography of the designer, Pochna's book is complete and telling, perhaps not swept up high enough in the airy realms of fashion to please devoted couture mavens but highly informative and interesting for general readers interested in Dior and his impact on the fashion industry. The business of fashion rather than the artistry of Dior's designs is where Pochna directs much of her attention. After all, the marketing and branding that Dior helped initiate was innovative, so discussions of licensing agreements and the development of designer accessories, along with Dior's youthful development and inspirations, blend into a provocative profile of this fashion great.
From Booklist
Although somewhat diluted by time, competition, and a proliferation of both good and bad licensees, the name Christian Dior still manages to retain its cachet of high couturier-dom. Journalist Pochna, who has biographies of Nina Ricci and Gianni Agnelli also in her portfolio, documents with almost a fictional style Dior's all-too-brief tenure (10 years) as the head of the House of Dior. Much interior gazing extends beyond the details of his life: the attachment to his mother; the discreet liaisons with young men who turn into friends, not lovers; and the mercurial temperament yet shy demeanor that made him fashion's (and the press') darling. A bohemian life in Paris after World War I led initially to a stint as an art gallery owner and finally to his lifelong dream of fashion design. A preface from famed retailer Stanley Marcus simply underscores Dior's charisma as the "merchant of ideas." Just translated from the French in time for New York City's Metropolitan Museum's 50-year retrospective. Barbara Jacobs

Ah, the great Dior, by which all other 20th century designers measured themselves against; from Yves St. Laurant to Coco Chanel, they all viewed Dior as the master. Even today his name is synonymous with style and elegance. This book is thorough and well written, Dior was a fascinating man and he is really fleshed out here. Very good book on a singular talent.
