GRANDEURGR AND SPLENDOURSP

It was Marc Bohan who took over the role of Creative Director at Dior when Yves Saint Laurent left the couture house in 1961. He remained at the helm for three decades and holds the record for the designer with the longest tenure in Dior’s history. During the time he was there, Bohan heralded the arrival of the new “Slim Look”, a svelte version of Christian Dior’s iconic silhouette. He is now the subject of DiorbyMarcBohan, a book that offers an encompassing overview of Bohan’s time at the House. Written by Jerome Hanover and featuring hundreds of dresses, it is the latest volume in a series that celebrates the works of designers who have walked the halls of Dior’s ateliersrs since its founding.
