Miss Dior: A Wartime Story of Courage and Couture by Justine Picardie (English)

Description: Miss Dior by Justine Picardie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Remarkable." --Hamish Bowles, VogueThe overdue restoration of Catherine Diors extraordinary life, from her brothers muse to Holocaust survivor Miss Dior is a story of freedom and fascism, beauty and betrayal, roses and repression, and of how the polished surface of fashion conceals hidden depths. It paints a portrait of the enigmatic woman behind the designer Christian Dior: his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous perfume and shaped his vision of femininity. Justine Picardies journey takes her to Occupied Paris, where Christian honed his couture skills while Catherine dedicated herself to the French Resistance, until she was captured by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of RavensbrÜck. With unparalleled access to the Dior family homes and archives, Picardie shines a new light on Catherines courageous life and Christian Diors legendary work, and reveals how his enchanting "New Look" emerged out of the shadows of his sisters suffering. Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of resistance and sisterhood. She explores what it means to believe in beauty and hope, despite our knowledge of darkness and despair, and discovers the timeless solace of the natural world in the aftermath of devastation and destruction. The result is an exquisite and unforgettably moving book.
