Dior in Bloom

I haven’t fully read it yet, but, I love it. There are just as many or more photos and descriptions of flowers and gardens than there are of Dior’s fashions. I really didn’t know very much about Dior (or Nick Knight) but have found this fascinating. The section of photographs of Mr. Knight’s Roses is just georgeous! I actually consider myself more interested in flowers than fashion, so I was very surprised and delighted with purchase.

I purchased this book after seeing the recent movie, "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris", and became intrigued by the exquisite workmanship the Dior atelier produced. The book is absolutely beautiful, showcasing in large, beautiful photographs, the gardens, homes, flowers, perfumes, jewels and embroidered gowns that take your breath away.As the book is quite large, so are the close-up photographs printed on thick, creamy paper.This is a treasure and a book I never tire of gazing at. I'm a girlie-girl with a deep appreciation of Mrs. Harris's desperate quest of a Dior gown. This book is those whom Dior's words resonate: "I designed clothes for flowerlike women, with rounded shoulders, full feminine busts and handspan waits above enormous spreading skirts."Spray some vintage Dior perfume, pour a glass of Champagne and savor.

This book is simply gorgeous. For all devotees of Dior, fashion, and flowers this is a must-own volume of splendor. Full of wonderful floral and detailed fashion photography spanning decades, the book includes lovely vellum overlays. Interesting historical tidbits round out this impressive book on Dior and the floral inspiration for which the designer and the House of Dior is known.If you, or anyone you know, is suffering from PESD (post-election stress disorder), Covid-19 fatigue, or just want to start 2021 on a happy and inspirational note I highly recommend this book. It's pricey, but jump in...the waters are good!

This book is a must-have for any Dior fun. It’s absolutely gorgeous and makes a beautiful decorative book as well. Highly recommend

Dior in Bloom opens a window into the designs of Dior via gardens! The photography is amazing and the gardens inspiring!I have a new appreciation for Dior's creative process.

This book is just full of the most sultry roses I've ever seen.

This is a magnificent book!

Gorgeous Book!
