A collection of photographs and drawings by Brigitte Niedermair, revealing the hidden workings of her enduring and powerful artistic collaboration with the House of Dior.

In a second volume, Niedermair returns with a book devoted to the special creative process she employs to design her hyper-constructed images for Dior. A collection of her best production, the photographs in the book are accompanied by illustrations, collages, and sketches drawn by Niedermair herself to prepare and build her sets, thus revealing the finesse and rigor of her artistic practice for the very first time. From iconic fashion photography to Renaissance painting, from references to Dior’s history to contemporary art, her sources of inspiration are endlessly rich and often surprising, and her drawings are work of art in themselves.

The book features haute couture, ready-to-wear, accessories, and jewelry collections of Dior, illustrating the breadth of style upheld by the House in recent years as it is re-constructed through Niedermair’s gaze. Expanding the exploration of the exceptional symbiosis between Dior and Niedermair’s aesthetic and artistic evolution, this book offers a new perspective on one of today’s most fascinating creative personalities, at the crossroad of photography and art.
