Since taking over in 2012, Simons had brought a sense of modernity to Dior while still acknowledging its history – in last week’s Pre-AW14 show, he paid homage to the classic Bar shape, reimaging it into a bomber jacket. ![]() The book follows on from Demarchelier’s previous collaborative work, Dior Couture, which was published in 2011.

Renowned for continuously reinventing the popular silhouette of women’s clothing, Dior’s fashion story has now been traced by Demarchelier in Dior: New Couture. Patrick Demarchelier is responsible for some of fashion’s most celebrated images, shooting every top model and pop icon under the sun.
