Кристиан Диор: шёлк и колючая проволока одной семьи | Биография великих людей

Christian Dior created the most triumphant feminine silhouette of the postwar era—the New Look, which restored joy and beauty to Europe. But behind this triumphant façade lurked a fracture the couturier himself never spoke of. While he was sewing dresses for the wives of Nazi officers in occupied Paris, his younger sister, Catherine, was tortured in the Gestapo dungeons and survived the Ravensbrück concentration camp. This is a story about the price of beauty, the impossible choice, and the story behind the most famous women's perfume in history. SOURCES AND MATERIALS: Poszna, Marie-France. Christian Dior.
