5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless June 1, 2010

By N. Williams

Format:Hardcover

This exquisite book is a fitting tribute to the great John Galliano. Lowit's photos are every bit as eccentric and original as the designs they capture. Whether backstage, on the runway or in fittings, she seems to wrest passion from every square inch of each image. If you're a longtime fan of Dior and Galliano or new to the party, this is a special book that you shouldn't miss. It is a visual riot, capturing the irreverent, unmistakable creative spirit that IS Dior.
