Discover the lavishly illustrated new book 'Dior Hats: From Christian Dior to Stephen Jones', published by Rizzoli NY, and available in a selection of Dior boutiques, bookstores and online, which explores the fascinating role played by hats throughout the House’s history. Long a quintessential symbol of the sophistication and femininity of haute couture, hats were a key element for Monsieur Dior, who noted, "Personally, I consider that a woman without a hat is not completely dressed". The alluring accessory has been reinvented by his successors ever since, with Stephen Jones assuming the mantle in 1996. The endlessly inventive British milliner is a primary contributor to this sumptuous book which provides an illuminating insight into over seven decades of elegance and a unique form of savoir-faire excellence.
