ESSENTIAL. Just buy it.,
This review is from: Dior Couture (Hardcover)
WOW. I won't exhaust the english language looking for ways to praise the contents of this book. Amazons wonderfully discounted price is just the cherry on the top of this feathered, jewel encrusted cake. This book is huge, heavy, and absolutely packed with photos that will leave you picking your jaw up off the floor.Bravo Demarchelier, and the endless team at the Dior Couture atelier.

Not really a new light on Dior,
By Bklynbased - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dior Couture (Hardcover)
I had this book on my wish list and was excited to receive it as a present, the descriptive as representing Dior's greatest couture gowns shot by Demarchelier intrigued me , I anticipated Christian Dior,Yves Saint Laurent ,Bohan ,Ferre and Galliano, sewn together . Unfortunately it's really all Galliano, I would have loved to see the full expression of the brand over 60+ years, not 80 % Galliano,Christian Dior day wear and some late afternoon cocktail, the Bar suit..... for the 100th time.... yes we all know that one, beautiful revolutionary for its time but... clearly nothing of interest from Bohan and Ferre ..... there are so many gowns that have not been included and are still available in collections.... and unfortunately what felt like just a couple of tunics by Bohan... really, the guy was there for 30 years and commercially Dior's most successful couture designer........ and Ferre ,known for reinterpreting the giant ball gown at Dior... The photography is beautiful, the print quality is excellent, but I feel the final editorial choice is disappointing, and spoke more to friends helping friends than a need to enlighten , I would have liked to have seen a new facet, an aha moment by juxtaposing these great names, a fresher opinion that threads together over 60 years of such a storied brand. I would give it 5 stars for the photography but only 2 for the fashion content.

This is just a beautiful book. The photographs by Demarchelier are stunning - they make me want to grab my camera and start shooting. It is definitely a feast for the eyes and the coffee table.

This review is from: Dior Couture (Hardcover)
Beautiful book. Unfortunately there is too much Galliano. Bohan and Ferre were my favorites and I wish they were included in some depth. The title does not reflect the contents
