Girl In Dior Hardcover – 16 April 2015

I absolutely adore this little book. It tells the tale of the launch of Dior,s New Look in a very appealing graphic novel format I,ve not looked into that genre before but this proves it can be a very effective way of storytelling. It would make a great stocking filler for a fashionista friend come Xmas

Bought this book as a present for a friends birthday who loves fashion.the book looks great and I'm sure my friend will love it. Lots of interesting information as well as the story for fashionistas.

The art was really nice, and I liked the story. The only problem I have is that it calls itself a biography; yet the main character is completely fictional. You do learn a lot about all the people around her; but her relationships with them is the main driving force of the entire narrative.

don't know anything about Dior except that his dresses are gorgeous; I'm especially in love with his little daytime dresses with jackets. This made all the information in this graphic about the beginning of Dior's breakout collection through the eyes of a new model very new to me and I didn't realize the model was a fictional character until the end of the book which does make the story a little confusing. However, the inside look at the fashion industry after WWII and the early 50s is amazingly eye-opening and so very different from today and yet in regards to the false feminine perception of perfection disturbingly the same. I really enjoyed the look inside this world during this era and would say the book is mostly about the industry and Dior's dresses and influence than about the man himself. However, the book's pièce de résistance is the breathtaking artwork. An entirely beautiful book which captures the pure brilliant beauty of the dresses and designs in a unique way. The book will be appreciated by all, but somehow I think I missed out a bit by not knowing the subject matter better beforehand. Knowledgable Christian Dior enthusiasts will come away the most inspired from this gorgeous book worthy of adding to any collection.
