THE FENDI SET AND DIOR BY JOHN GALLIANO

The Fendi Set (Rizzoli) examines the influence of Bloomsbury Set writers and artists on Kim Jones’s work at Fendi, juxtaposing Virginia Woolf ’s and Vanessa Bell’s letters and diary entries about the Eternal City with photos taken at iconic sites there, like Villa Medici. Dior by John Galliano (Assouline), the fifth volume in a series on Dior’s artistic directors, explores the designer’s modern takes on historical silhouettes, including his beloved 18th-century redingotes, during his 14-year run at the French house.
