Monsieur Dior: Once upon a time, there was an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the ten years during which Christian Dior ran his famous house. After World War II, women craved glamour, and Dior's New Look revolutionized fashion by boldly bringing back femininity through the innovative use of fabric and silhouette lines. During his brief reign at the helm of the house, Dior became a superstar, expanding his empire to include perfumes, jewelry and hosiery, while opening boutiques across the world.

Author Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni interviewed many people who had a direct relationship with the designer, such as Jacqueline de Ribes, Olivia de Havilland, John Fairchild, Pierre Cardin, Victoire Doutreleau, and many others, including his saleswomen, socialite clients, models and muses. These interviews offer readers an intimate and unique insight into the captivating workings of this house. Embellished with dazzling images from renowned photographers such as Cecil Beaton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Lord Snowdon and Willy Maywald, as well as previously unpublished documents from the Dior archives, this story offers a new and surprising vision of the House of Dior and the life of its brilliant founder.

Monsieur Dior: Once Upon a Time is elegantly presented in a gray Dior box, wrapped in silver tissue paper, and accompanied by a grosgrain bookmark. Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni, a British writer and journalist based in Paris, specializing in fashion, interiors and lifestyle, is the author of Sam Spiegel, The Biography of A Hollywood Legend; A Portfolio: Tino Zervudachi, published by Pointed Leaf Press in 2012, and Dior Glamor by Mark Shaw in 2013. "A book of astonishing intimacy and luminous beauty, housed in a gray Dior box like a rare jewel." - Architectural Digest
