Niedermair, Dior : Dessin, photographie

This book by photographer Brigitte Niedermair is devoted to the unique creative process she uses to design her hyper-constructed images for Dior. A collection of her best work, the photographs in the book are accompanied by illustrations, collages and sketches drawn by Niedermair herself to prepare and construct her sets, revealing for the very first time the finesse and rigour of her artistic practice. From iconic fashion photography to Renaissance painting, from references to the history of Dior to contemporary art, her sources of inspiration are infinitely rich and often surprising, and her drawings are works of art in their own right.

The book presents Dior's haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories and jewellery collections, illustrating the diversity of styles championed by the House in recent years, as reconstructed through Niedermair's eyes. Delving deeper into the exceptional symbiosis between Dior and Niedermair's aesthetic and artistic evolution, this book offers a new perspective on one of today's most fascinating creative personalities, at the crossroads of photography and art.
