review 1: Depicting beautifully illustrated gowns ranging from the mid 1800's to the 1990's, Dreaming of Dior, proves the old saying that while somethings change, some things always stay the same. In this case, that thing that never changes is a love of all things material. If you love clothes, beauty and fashion, you will love this book. It would be especially appealing to those who have a keen interest in vintage fashion, or, those like me, who combine their interest in history with their of clothes. As a non-fiction work, there is no continuous story that unfolds, each page is separate and a story in itself. However, Dreaming of Dior does offer an interesting interpretation that differs to other books on vintage clothing I have read. Essentially, the focus is on the stories behin... mored the dress, the people who owned them, and how these dresses have the power to bring history to life. Very interesting!
review 2: The book cover attracted me, then I flipped through the book and it seems interesting. Each dress in this book has a mini story with it. just like a picture has it's own story, but in this book, it's each dress has it's own story. I liked every mini story of each dress. They even have illustration of each dress and the dresses are PRETTY! I also noticed that the designs on the dresses back then reflect on the styles and themes used in today's fashion. Bringing back the old. less
