    Christian Dior revolutionized fashion when he introduced the post-war New Look designs in the late 1940s. The French couturier continued to have a significant hold on the industry well until his passing, and until today, his name—and brand—is still synonymous with the notion of Parisian glamour. In this autobiography, Monsieur Dior (as he was known by his atelier workers) recounted his personal life while describing his trove of inspirations and creative processes. A must-read for those curious about the inner mind of fashion's most celebrated name.
