Christian Dior: The Man Who Made the World Look New

This book is a beautiful tribute to a design genius. I loved learning about Dior's comfortable French childhood designing fanciful carnival costumes, that was to shape his later love of feminine frivolity. This book made me appreciate Dior's influence on 20th- and 21st-century fashion–as well as his business genius that introduced licensing as an important part of all haute couture businesses to come.
