FASHION FASHION BOOK MUST-HAVE Dior Anthologie T he third in a seven-book series devoted to the designers who succeeded each other at the head of the house of Dior, will be on shelves April 10. Published by Assouline, “Dior by Marc Bohan” looks back on three decades of Dior history. This rich heritage is recounted by writer and journalist Jérôme Hanover, and documented by hundreds of images of dresses photographed by Laziz Hamani, along with archival photographs. Over the course of three decades, from 1961 to 1989, Bohan established close links with the world of the arts and the most famous personalities of the time, including the artist Niki de Saint Phalle. His fondness for faraway cultures enabled the designer to infuse the house with a particular spirit of discovery and freedom, without ever losing sight of his objective: to make sophisticated clothes simply, with a touch of insolence every now and then. 24 GAZELLE
