Publisher's Note
Christian Dior revolutionized fashion in 1947 with his lavish, flowing gowns and skirts, dubbed the "New Look" by the press. He soon became the epitome of the all-powerful Parisian designer, dictating hem lengths from Paris to New York to Tokyo from his atelier on the Rue Montaigne.

Industry Reviews
"...Ms. Pochna brings to her subject a reporter's doggedness and a mechanic's knack for assembling a whole from dozens of parts."
New York Times Book Review - Holly Brubach (01/12/1996)

"As a study of the private tragedy that lurked behind one of the most remarkable careers of the century...this is a fascinating biography which demands to be read."
Literary Review - Tim Ashley (03/19/1998)

"He was witty, sophisticated and intelligent; Nadia May reads in the same mode. Her performance is smooth and effortless; her diction is perfect, and she glides through the plethora of French names and phrases with alacrity."
AudioFile - Nadia May (02/01/2000)

"In 1947 Dior's first fashion show appeared in Paris and won him instant acclaim as the 'king of fashion'. Pochna's biography of Dior presents a fine, in-depth examination of the figure whose New Look entered Paris at just the right moment. Personal biographical notes blend with artistic and design observations in a well-rounded coverage.
Midwest Book Review - Unknown Critic Staff (11/01/1996)
