Perfect Gift for the Fashionista

I bought this book as a gift for a relative who is a fashion aficionado and it was perfect! She owns several other fashion dictionaries, but didn't have this one. If you appreciate the history of fashion, you will love this must have for your book collection.

The Little Dictionary of Fashion By Christian Dior

Reviewer: Loves Vintage Style,
When Dior wrote this wonderful little dictionary many years ago, he wrote it to be "of great practical use to the women of today." In my opinion, his dictionary has transcended its time (1954). It is a fascinating book for all of us who are interested in fashionable clothing and accessories. Dior has a point of view and a philosophy of dress which is timeless, based on the fundamentals of good dressing--simplicity, good taste, and grooming.
Simple rules that never go out of style!

Reviewer: Frine Hernandez, OH USA
Very interesting!
It is just what fashion used to be in the 50's.
Good book to learn what used to be fashion in the old times.
The best of it is that it teaches a lot of the rules that will never go out of style, because it teaches how to be elegant.
I also liked the way he approaches how to use colors and their meaning.
A++++++++++++++ book.
Lovely little book!

This is such a sweet little book! I saw it first at Anthropologie and went looking for it online and found it much cheaper on Amazon. There are a lot of fun old pictures of Dior fashion. It is a dictionary of fashion according to Dior, and he has such a fun and wonderful point of view. I have quoted many of his sayings in this book to my sisters!
