Raf Simons might be busily breathing his own sense of glamour into the house of Dior, but it’s the labe’ls heritage  that really makes it an intoxicating mix.

In Assouline’s latest publication Dior’s haute couture,  jewellery, and delicate fragrances are celebrated in three books; Dior Fashion, Dior Fine Jewellery, and Dior Perfume. Costume-balls, catwalks and campaigns, it’s a chic showcase of what the brand’s history and a timely celebration of the old as Dior embarks into new visions.
