Written many years ago at the height of his fame, something he is very conscious of throughout the book. Fascinating insight into the world of haute couture in the 1950s
liil's review against another edition
5.0
I loved this book. It was very insightful into the world of a famous couturier, but also into the life of the 1950's era when people were looking for more luxury. I really liked to read Dior's views on how he saw women, France, America, England and Scotland and his passion for dresses, people and culture.

Fascinating insight into the great designers mind
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.

a relaxing and lighthearted read, good for getting a 'vintage-French vibe' but slightly boring and tough to get through at times. It is easier to read in short bursts but enjoyable nonetheless.
