A biographical book about the life of Christian Dior, his fashion house and his clothes that emphasize feminine curves, highlighting the female body. The Little Book of Dior" by Karen Homer is a delightful exploration of the iconic fashion house, offering comprehensive glimpse into the world of Dior of timeless fashion. Karen’s writing captures the history and evolution of Dior, from its humble beginnings to its status as a global fashion powerhouse. She skillfully weaves together anecdotes, interviews, and historical insights. I honestly thought I wouldn’t enjoy this as much as fiction but I LOVED it. It was so interesting to learn about and here are some of my thoughts whilst reading :) Christian Dior's spectacular rise to the upper echelons of the Parisian fashion world is one of the most compelling stories of twentieth-century fashion. Dior's debut collection in 1947 invented the New Look silhouette and revolutionized the way women dressed, shopped and saw themselves. in short, this is an incredibly accessible way to learn about one of the most distinct and influential fashion house of the 20th/21st centuries. It takes you through the history of the company, the founder himself, and how the house has and has not changed throughout time.

I have read a good amount of historical non-fiction, and I was pretty disappointed by this book. Some things that stood out to me:nielen história, vznik a vývoj, ale tiež cesta k úspechu luxusných značiek, ktoré dnes patria medzi najobľúbenejšie. Výborný mix pútavého textu a dokonalého výberu fotografií.
