A Season at Dior
9782080153982
€63,99
In this intimate and evocative edition, Yorn Michaelsen offers a firsthand account of the glamorous golden age of working with designer Christian Dior.
Paris, 1956: the undisputed capital of elegance and the avant-garde. At twenty-one, Jürgen Michaelsen stepped through the doors of the House of Christian Dior where the eponymous designer—captivated by his passion and sensitivity—hired him on the spot. Dior dubbed him Yorn and invited him into the rarefied world of Parisian haute couture.
In this exceptional, first-hand account, Michaelsen recounts the magic of the ateliers, the restless energy of the studios, and the intimate world behind-the-scenes, where models, premières d’atelier, and celebrated clients brought the master’s creations to life. He chronicles the feverish preparations for the collections, the anxious anticipation of the shows, the charged atmosphere of the Haute Couture salons, but also the quiet gestures of daily life, the camaraderie among colleagues, and the delightful anecdotes of a vanished era.
Through these recollections, he paints a portrait of Dior as both shy and visionary, generous and demanding—a man whose genius never overshadowed his humanity. He also evokes the dazzling personality of a young Yves Saint Laurent, the daring wagers they shared, and the creative energy that animated the corridors of 30 Avenue Montaigne. After years with Dior and Madame Grès, in 1962, Michaelsen became the first German designer to open a couture house on the Champs-Élysées, blending German rigor with Parisian lightness.
Vivid, intimate, and luminous, this narrative is an immersion into the secrets of haute couture and a life lesson: happiness, when shared, becomes infinite. Lees meer
