Sixty haute couture designs from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs offer a panorama of Dior s haute couture creations since 1947, always the epitome of modern elegance
Christian Dior was born in Granville, a seaside town on the coast of Normandy, France: while his family had hoped that he would become a diplomat, Dior preferred art. His preternatural talent resulted in him being hired by Robert Piquet in 1937, and subsequently worked alongside Pierre Balmain and Lucien Lelong.
Dior was an instant sensation after the Second World War. His designs, which asserted femininity, were a strong rebuke to the utilitarian, unisex clothing of wartime and came to symbolise the New Look . Dior had an extremely close relationship with his sister, Catherine honouring her work during the war in the French Resistance with the popular perfume Miss Dior. She was his muse. The book features around 60 haute couture designs from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs along with an equivalent number of iconic pieces belonging to Dior Héritage (the house s own archives of original runway prototypes or garments ordered by clients), supplemented by fragrances and accessories. The items on display thus offer a panorama of Christian Dior s haute couture creations since 1947, always the epitome of modern elegance, with the selection taking as its unifying thread the fabric of dreams and the passing on of an aesthetic vision.

A beautifully illustrated book, dedicated to the perfume of fashion brand Kenzo: from the iconic Flower to the daring Kenzo World, it s a universe that smells beautiful
Perfume and fashion have been inextricably linked since the 18th century, when Rose Bertin, Queen Marie-Antoinette s dressmaker and milliner, commissioned Jean-Louis Fargeon to create perfumed gauze flowers. In 1911, Paul Poiret launched Parfums Rosine, becoming the first couturier-perfumer of the 20th century and paving the way for all his contemporaries and successors, whether couturiers or fashion designers.
A century ago, the union of these two worlds revolutionised the industry. A generation of couturier-perfumers created fragrances in harmony with the spirit of each couture house. Clothes, perfumes and their caskets thus form a coherent whole. Couturiers accompany their collections with olfactory creations, offering an invisible, imperceptible dress that leaves a trail, just as a dress leaves a train. This collection explores the perfumes of couturiers, symbolising the timeless union between fashion and fragrance.
This series explores the perfumes of couturiers, symbolising the timeless union between fashion and fragrance. The first volume is dedicated to KENZO: from the iconic Flower to the daring Kenzo World, it s a universe that smells beautiful.

A fresh look at the House, featuring designs by Christian Dior and by his successors Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri
Published to accompany the DIOR - A New Look at Kunstmuseum exhibition, The Hague, September 21, 2024 - January 26, 2025
Fashion experts take a fresh look at more than 40 Dior creations and talk about the creators, wearers, technology, conservation, publicity, and important women for Dior. Christian Dior himself led his fashion House, founded in 1947, for only 10 years, but conquered the world in that short time. The designers who followed in his footsteps, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and now Maria Grazia Chiuri, remained true to his Dior DNA. The New Look, the Dior line, Dior s love of flowers and, of course, the Dior Dream are covered.
Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first female chief designer for Dior, is known for her feminism and the stage she offers to female artists. Dutch photographer Viviane Sassen was therefore asked to create a photo series focusing on work by Christian Dior and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Maria Grazia Chiuri considers herself a curator of ideas . The photo series, in which her work enters into a dialogue with Christian Dior s, shows what this means to her.
Madelief Hohé is Curator at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague specialising in fashion.

Features original costumes from Titanic (1997) alongside rare historical garments from 1908 1918
Explores a transformative era in fashion history and its social context
Includes work by renowned contemporary designers like Iris van Herpen and John Galliano
Highlights contrasts between haute couture and traditional dress aboard the Titanic
Companion to the major exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag
Engages with themes of class, progress, emancipation, and identity
Titanic & Fashion takes you on a captivating journey through time and style, featuring original costumes from the iconic 1997 film Titanic and rarely seen garments from the 1910s. The book explores a revolutionary era in fashion (1908 1918), when corsets were cast off and visionary designers like Coco Chanel and Lucile redefined modern dress. This period of emancipation, technological optimism, and class division echoes many aspects of our world today.
Combined with works by contemporary designers such as Iris van Herpen and John Galliano for Margiela, the book creates a compelling dialogue between past and present. From dreamy gowns to bold statements, fashion becomes a vehicle for stories of hope, struggle, and identity. Aboard the Titanic, these worlds collided from wealthy travellers in haute couture to migrants in traditional dress all aboard a ship that came to symbolise both progress and peril.
Published to accompany an exhibition at Kunstmuseum The Hague, Netherlands, between 27 September 2025 and 25 January 2026.

When it comes to fashion, the term icon is almost invariably associated with a person: a man or, more often, a woman whose style has left a mark on the collective imagination. And yet, there are also objects that have the same extraordinary evocative power, items of clothing or accessories which, in different ways, have revolutionised the history of fashion. The birth of the Burberry trench coat, flat pumps or Givenchy s little black dress were milestones after which nothing was ever the same. Each designer, label or fast-fashion manufacturer has had to come to terms with fashion icons existence, by quoting or revisiting them, or simply by copying creations that have now become classics. Some of these are even known by their original name, like the Kelly bag and Borsalino hats. Others, over the years, have also gained sociopolitical connotations (Levi s jeans, for example, which were once workwear, became a symbol of the Sixties youth revolution), while others, such as Hermès scarves and Chanel No.5 perfume, continue to be status symbols. This book with historical illustrations, cult advertising and beautiful still life shots of the products featured, narrates the history and anecdotes, and tells of the famous people and intrinsic values relating to the must-have fashion items.
Federico Rocca was born in Sondrio in 1975. He graduated from the DAMS at Bologna with a degree in history, writing his thesis on Peter Del Monte, which was considered for the Premio Sacchi award. He then worked in screenplay writing, first for Telepiù, and then for Sky, after which he entered the fashion world. As editor and author, he published Embroidery Italian fashion (2006), Silvana Mangano (2008), Contemporary Indian fashion (2009), and edited Hermès, l'avventura del lusso (2011). Today he is a professional journalist and fashion editor for www.style.it, the fashion and lifestyle portal of Condé Nast
