— Presentation
In this combination of truth and fiction, the actor Francis Huster looks at the last 11 years in the life of Christian Dior, which saw the rise of a man, a style and a brand. In telling the story of Dior, Francis Huster also tells his own story, recalling his seamstress mother, his memories of the theatre, his encounters, dreams and the heady perfume of the 50s.
The book is like a declaration of love to women, without whom Christian would never have become Dior, and who, without Dior, would never have been quite the same.
