Led by the acclaimed milliner Stephen Jones, a stalwart collaborator with Dior since 1996, this tome delves into Dior’s symbiotic connection with the artistry of hat-making. Originating from Christian Dior’s early career focus on headpieces, the book draws from his fashion philosophy, stating, “A hat is essential to any outfit. It completes it. In a way, a hat is the best way to express your personality,” as captured in his Little Dictionary of Fashion. Commemorating over 70 years of artistry, the volume, coinciding with the 2020 exhibition at Musée Christian Dior, Granville, unfolds the evolution of Dior’s headwear—ranging from Christian Dior’s legendary designs to contributions by Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Reflecting on this rich fashion narrative, Stephen Jones provides insights, complemented by contributions from Alexander Fury, Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni, and Florence Müller. The text is adorned with archival materials, drawings, and photographs, including works by Richard Avedon, Erwin Blumenfeld, Mario Testino, and exclusive, never-before-seen images by Sølve Sundsbø.
