Christian Dior (1905–1957) rocketed to fame with his first collection in 1947 when the “New Look” took the world by storm. This charming and modest autobiography gives a fascinating and detailed insight into the workings of a great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment. Dior by Dior offers a unique portrait of classic Paris haute couture of the 1950s and offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes. Dior details his childhood in Granville, the family and friends closest to him, his most difficult years and sudden success, as well as his sources of inspiration and creative processes. Review: Amazing book - I’ve recently become obsessed with Christian Dior. Not just the products but the man himself as well. I have been reading up on him and find we have a lot in common. So I recently picked up one of the few books he ever wrote, “Dior by Dior”. This short biography gives a fascinating look into what it took for him to create the Dior fashion house that we know today, as well as an in-depth look into the Paris Haute Couture scene of the 40s and 50s. Dior built his fashion house with what was called the “New Look” with his first collection in 1947. The book really details how he found himself creating his own fashion house and everything it took behind the scenes for him and his employees to create his first fashion show. Dior writes in such a fascinating and detailed way that you are instantly drawn into the book from the first chapter. It is too bad that he didn’t write more because he tells a story beautifully. He starts the story by writing about a childhood experience where a fortune teller told him he would be successful. Throughout his years he relied on psychics and fortune tellers to help him make decisions. He tells about the work he did for other designers before making the rash decision to start his own fashion house. He details the fortuitous finding of the location of Maison Dior on Montaigne Avenue in Paris, where it still stand to this day. He also gives us insight into how he picked his “worker bees” as he called his employees and the “mannequins” or models who showcased his clothes during his fashion shows. All in all, the story he weaves is intriguing and he ends the book with a more intimate peek into his own personal life. I would have loved to learn more about his personal side though. Too bad he never wrote more on that topic. If you are a fan of Dior, or even just fashion itself, I highly recommend this as it gives great insight into the work it takes to create a season of a fashion collection and how it is brought to life. I loved this book and will reread it again I’m sure. Review: Absolutely wonderful book about a fashion maven - It was really wonderful to learn many personal details about this fashion artist and the great house he founded. If you are even remotely interested in the history of high fashion you will enjoy this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #891,139 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #365 in Fashion History #405 in Fashion Photography (Books) #810 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 381 Reviews | ## Images ![Dior by Dior: The Autobiography of Christian Dior (V&A Fashion Perspectives) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i4CO7cmFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book *by C***N on May 23, 2019* I’ve recently become obsessed with Christian Dior.

If you are even remotely interested in the history of high fashion you will enjoy this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating insight into the great designers mind *by K***R on May 17, 2015* A rather well written and fascinating description of life in high fashion from the pen of one of the greats. I do not know if Dior had a ghost writer assist, but this text is eminently readable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dior by Dior: The Autobiography of Christian Dior (V&A Fashion Perspectives) - Miss Dior: A Story of Courage and Couture - Christian Dior: Destiny: The Authorized Biography --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/75802649-dior-by-dior-the-autobiography-of-christian-dior-v-fashion](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/75802649-dior-by-dior-the-autobiography-of-christian-dior-v-fashion) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
