Peter Lindbergh, the renowned photographer, has captured the essence of Dior's most exceptional muses, including Marion Cotillard and Charlize Theron, through his distinctive style. His collaboration with the House extended over decades, resulting in iconic campaigns for Lady Dior and J'Adore. This final book, a co-creation close to Lindbergh's heart, showcases a remarkable seventy years of Dior history projected against the vibrant backdrop of Times Square, New York. In an unprecedented move, Dior allowed an extensive collection of priceless garments to be taken from its vaults in Paris and transported across the Atlantic for Lindbergh's project. The result is an electrifying exhibition that captivates the viewer. Amidst the bustling energy of Times Square, Alek Wek shines in the immaculate 1947 Bar suit, a legendary ensemble that marked the birth of the House of Dior. Models Saskia de Brauw, Karen Elson, and Amber Valletta grace the streets, their presence reflected in the building façades and adorned in haute couture, ranging from hand-sewn pieces by Christian Dior to more recent designs by Maria Grazia Chiuri.
