This version contains much more detailed information that was not exposed in the first telling, which is why the reader must read the text rather than think this is just one more glorious coffee table book featuring the creations of Maison Dior designed by all who held the reins since day one. -NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS The Brooklyn Museum's upcoming Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams is one of the fall's most anticipated exhibitions, and this catalogue is a perfect way to bring the show-which features more than 200 haute couture garments in addition to sketches, videos, photos, and other items-home with you. -TOWN COUNTRY It wouldn't be a Rizzoli publication if weren't illustrated with outstanding illustrations and photographs, and these from artist Katerina Jebb (shown) and the world's most famous photographers do indeed dazzle. . . The book concludes with a terrific portfolio of photographs from America's most celebrated masters-including Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Bert Stern, Horst, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Annie Liebovitz and Deborah Turbeville-who captured celebrated beauties, top models (from Dovima to Christy Turlington), famous actresses (Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, to name just two) and rock stars (Rihanna) wearing Dior from the 1950s until today. -MYLITTLEBIRD.COM
