The name Assouline is synonymous with luxury coffee table books, objects of art that celebrate design, fashion, and culture with exquisite detail and breathtaking photography. Their collaboration with Dior, a house steeped in history and synonymous with high fashion, has resulted in a series of stunning volumes, each a testament to the enduring legacy of the brand. This exploration delves into the world of Assouline's Dior publications, focusing specifically on *Dior par Marc Bohan*, published in 2018 by Editions Assouline, and situating it within the broader context of the Dior coffee table book collection.
Introducing the Dior Series: Assouline's Dior series is not merely a collection of books; it's a meticulously curated exploration of the House of Dior's evolution. From its founding by Christian Dior himself to the subsequent creative directors who shaped its identity, each volume offers a unique perspective on the brand's history, design philosophy, and enduring influence on the fashion world. The series showcases the craftsmanship, artistry, and sheer creative genius that has defined Dior for over seventy years. It's a testament to Assouline's commitment to producing books that are as much works of art as they are informative texts. The series meticulously balances rigorous historical accuracy with an aesthetic sensibility that reflects the elegance and sophistication of the Dior brand itself.
Dior by Christian Dior: Any discussion of the Assouline Dior series must begin with the foundational text: a book dedicated to the founder himself. While not explicitly an Assouline publication (though they have undoubtedly been inspired by its existence and quality), *Dior by Christian Dior* (often accompanied by variations in title and author) lays the groundwork for understanding the brand’s origins and ethos. This book, potentially by Olivier Saillard (a frequent contributor to Dior literature), provides invaluable context for appreciating the subsequent volumes, including *Dior par Marc Bohan*. It explores Christian Dior's vision, his revolutionary New Look, and the impact he had on post-war fashion, setting the stage for the legacy that would follow. This foundational understanding is crucial for fully appreciating the evolution depicted in later Assouline publications.
Dior by Christian Dior by Olivier Saillard: The potential inclusion of Olivier Saillard as the author of a foundational Dior biography further elevates the series' scholarly standing. Saillard's expertise in fashion history and his insightful analysis of design would undoubtedly contribute to a richly detailed and nuanced portrayal of Christian Dior's life and work. His focus on the historical and cultural context of Dior’s creations would enrich the reader's understanding of the brand's lasting impact. Such a book would act as a cornerstone for the entire series, providing the necessary background to fully appreciate the contributions of subsequent designers.
