Dior by Avedon

Серия: "-"

Richard Avedon's iconic fashion work not only changed fashion photography but also changed the way the world looks at fashion. One of his most prolific collaborations was with the House of Dior, which can be traced back to 1947, just after the haute couture house had taken the Paris fashion world by storm. This lavish volume includes 150 iconic and many never-before-published photographs by Avedon, featuring glamorous models and celebrities, including Marlene Dietrich, Suzy Parker, Sunny Harnett, Dovima, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Dorian Leigh, Capucine, Lauren Hutton, Anjelica Huston, and Barbra Streisand. Avedon's images document Dior's fashion, as well as fashion history from the'40s through the'70s. With an eye for moments of grace, drama, and humor, as well as a mastery of light and contrast, Avedon captures the essence of Dior's elegant designs, the style and personality of the iconic women who wore them, and incredible moments in photography that will intrigue photography, art, and fashion lovers alike.

Jacqueline de Ribes

Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes, born 1931 in Paris as Jacqueline de Beaumont. French socialite and comtesse. She grew up in an atmosphere of French aristocratic wealth and elegance. At the age of 17, she married Edouard vicomte de Ribes, a rich and successful banker, who subsequently became comte de Ribes.

By the age of 25, she was appearing on the lists of best-dressed women, having consistently worn haute couture clothing all her life. She has been the muse of many designers such as Valentino and Guy Laroche. She was always on the International Best Dressed List and entered its Hall of Fame in 1962. She was also one of the guests who attended Alexis von Rosenberg, Baron de Rédé famous "Bal des Têtes" in 1957 and the "Oriental ball" in 1969, both at the Hôtel Lambert.

She was considered one of the most elegant women in France, and in 1983 was voted the "Most Stylish Woman in the World" by the magazine Town and Country.Although she was interested in designing, her upbringing did not encourage women of her class to work. So her longing to have a salon of her own was not fulfilled until she was well into her 40's. Her first collection was shown in Paris and New York in 1983. Her aura of discreet grandeur and innate sense of good taste, ensured that the gowns she designed were greatly admired by the ladies of her society. She retired from designing in 1994 for health reasons.

In 1999 Jean-Paul Gaultier, the French designer, dedicated his collection to Jacqueline as the quintessence of Parisian elegance. She was very pleased about this.

Jacqueline de Ribes has been mentioned in several books about society and fashion. She lives now in Paris. She has one daughter and one son with Edouard de Ribes. Her granddaughter, Alix, got married to comte Pierre de La Rochefoucauld in 2004 at Versainville.
