真正的迪奧小姐:高級訂製服大師Cristian Dior永遠的謬斯─凱薩琳‧迪奧的精彩一生
獨家收錄215張珍稀彩色與黑白照片

內容簡介

凱薩琳‧迪奧是時尚設計師Christian Dior的妹妹,她不但是迪奧知名香水Miss Dior的靈感來源,也是二戰時期勇敢的反抗軍。

凱薩琳身為法國抵抗運動的中堅份子,在巴黎被納粹占領後仍繼續活動,她借出哥哥在巴黎的公寓作為反抗軍會面的地點,1941年加入由英國資助的法國-波蘭情報部門F2,負責將訊息傳遞給英國的盟軍。

1944年,凱薩琳不幸遭到逮捕,受到蓋世太保的嚴刑拷打與折磨後,被送到德國拉文斯布呂克(Ravensbrück)的婦女集中營,她以堅強的意志力活了下來,二戰結束後終於輾轉回到巴黎,她後來投入花藝貿易,同時也一邊支持哥哥的時尚事業,凱薩琳始終是迪奧品牌歷史中重要的謬斯。

2019年Dior創意總監Maria Grazia Chiuri就以她故事為靈感,於2020春夏大秀中加入花卉植物的元素,向這位時尚產業背後的傳奇女子致敬。

The overdue restoration of Catherine Dior’s extraordinary life, from her brother’s muse to Holocaust survivor

Miss Dior is a story of freedom and fascism, beauty and betrayal, roses and repression, and of how the polished surface of fashion conceals hidden depths.

It paints a portrait of the enigmatic woman behind the designer Christian Dior: his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous perfume and shaped his vision of femininity. Justine Picardie’s journey takes her to Occupied Paris, where Christian honed his couture skills while Catherine dedicated herself to the French Resistance, until she was captured by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of Ravensbrück.

With unparalleled access to the Dior family homes and archives, Picardie shines a new light on Catherine’s courageous life and Christian Dior’s legendary work, and reveals how his enchanting “New Look” emerged out of the shadows of his sister’s suffering.

Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of resistance and sisterhood. She explores what it means to believe in beauty and hope, despite our knowledge of darkness and despair, and discovers the timeless solace of the natural world in the aftermath of devastation and destruction. The result is an exquisite and unforgettably moving book.

各界推薦

"Picardie has written a moving and impressive history of wartime politics, death camps, postwar trials, collaboration and the invigorating world of haute couture. She gets much of her Ravensbrück material from victims who left records of their experiences and made small, heartbreaking drawings and gifts to keep their spirits up. Miss Dior is a tricky book to pull off but Ms. Picardie is a sensitive, elegant writer and―hard as it is to imagine―for the most part she succeeds." ―Moira Hodgson, The Wall Street Journal

"Picardie . . . has nearly unassailable fashion knowledge. She reconstructs with ease and confidence how fashion restored luxury to its French perch after the war." ―Ruth Peltason, Air Mail

“Extraordinary . . . The result is Netflix-worthy and the pace page-turning as Picardie presents a woman who appeals beyond the boundaries of Planet Fashion . . . Catherine’s story . . . shines―the quiet Dior who preferred flowers to fashion, the unsung heroine who survived the abuse of the Third Reich to help liberate France.” ―Jackie Annesley, The Sunday Times (UK)

“The juxtaposition of terrible shadows and dazzling light is one of the great strengths of this book . . . [Miss Dior] is a very personal, very passionate book.” ―Artemis Cooper, Times Literary Supplement

“Catherine’s story is beautifully, hauntingly told in spare and elegant prose by Picardie . . . awe-inspiring.” ―Laura Freeman, The Times (UK)

“Remarkable” ―Hamish Bowles, Vogue

“Picardie’s book is of the moment . . . celebrating an unsung hero.” ―Laird Borrelli-Persson, Vogue

“Moving and beautifully illustrated.” ―Christiana Bishop, New Statesman

“Picardie’s research is remarkable, her writing grabs and holds the reader tight from beginning to end . . . An exceptional discussion on France during WWII and the couture industry, [Miss Dior] is fascinating reading and will not disappoint.” ―Judith Reveal, New York Journal of Books
