The most important feature of my life – I would be both ungrateful and untruthful if I failed to acknowledge it immediately – has been my good luck; and I must also acknowledge my debt to the fortune-tellers who have predicted it.’

Christian Dior (1905-1957) found fame with his first collection in 1947 when the 'New Look' took the world by world by storm. This charming autobiography gives a fascinating insight into the workings of the great fashion house, while revealing the private man behind the high-profile establishment. Originally published in English in 1957, with an updated translation by Antonia Fraser, this beautifully designed new edition features drawings by Dior, behind the scenes images from the atelier and stunning fashion photography by Irving Penn, Horst P. Horst, Cecil Beaton and others.

Christian Dior was born in Granville, Normandy, in 1905. He opened his own couture house in 1947, revolutionizing fashion with the "New Look." He was created a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1950 and died in 1957.
