Description
In this exquisite book, Mats Gustafson's watercolors and collages replace the camera to capture the spirit and beauty of Dior.
While illustration was an essential element in promoting fashion in the first half of the twentieth century, photography has been the medium of choice since the 1970s. So when Dior turned to Swedish illustrator Mats Gustafson in 2012 to portray its collections, it was a return to the elegance of fashion’s earliest mode of expression. Dior by Mats Gustafson presents this inspired collaboration for the first time ever.
Infused with sophisticated glamour, Gustafson's vibrant watercolors and collages thoroughly capture the glamorous world of Dior, including its haute couture masterpieces, recent contemporary ready-to-wear creations, and celebrated accessories, echoing the same sense of elegance that the house has cultivated for seven decades.
