I read it so that you don't have to. The book is pretty and has very little content - all platitudes, some of them mildly interesting. If you really want to learn about vintage fashion from a vintage book, choose A Guide to Elegance: For Every Woman Who Wants to Be Well and Properly Dressed on All Occasions or ABC of Men's Fashion. With your personal feeling no one can do it better than you … But, be careful, one accent is enough. And if you choose a colour accent, select it with great care – and remember that except in the hands of an expert two colours in one outfit is enough. PDF / EPUB File Name: The_little_dictionary_of_fashion_-_Christian_dior.pdf, The_little_dictionary_of_fashion_-_Christian_dior.epub Everything I know, see or hear; every part of my life is transformed into dresses. They are my dreams, but they have passed from dreamland into the world of everyday items to wear…” ~ Christian Dior ♡That said, it was a bit of an interesting time capsule, to read Dior’s thoughts on different aspects of fashion. Unfortunately, many of the definitions are less, well, definitions, and more paragraphs about how said item fits into Dior’s view of fashion. Which is fine, but it’s hard for me to assess Dior’s thoughts on pique when I’m still not entirely sure what that is. Additionally, many sections (such as hemlines) would have benefited from drawings showing the various types and their names. Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money. Elegance is not dependent on money. Of the four things I have mentioned above, the most important of all of them is care. Care in choosing your clothes. Care in wearing them. Care in keeping them. Christian Dior I drejtohet lexuesit ne vete te pare dhe krijon nje raport shume intim, sikur e ke punesuar te jete keshilluesi yt personal dhe kjo ishte nje nga anet me te mira te librit. Ai nuk perpiqet te te shesi moden luksoze te veshjeve Dior apo te flase me superlativa per to; Dior ben detyren e tij per shkrimin e ketij fjalorthi dhe na shpalos njohurite e tij sic di ai me mire.

Gjate sfides sime per te krijuar nje garderobe qe me pershtatet dhe reflekton vetveten time, e dija qe duhet te edukohesha mbi veshjet dhe stilet dhe kombinimet dhe modat. Nje bote e tere per t'u zbutur. Ndaj, mendova se menyra me e mire do te ishte te ndiqja udhezimet e nje prej mjeshtrave te modes: fjalorin e modes nga Christian Dior. When I was young, women used much more perfume than they do now and I thin that was wonderful and I regret now that more women don't use it lavishly now. First you must study yourself. Learn to know what suits you and what does not. And study your own needs. Find the colours that flatter you and emphasise your looks. Avoid the colours that do nothing for you. You literally learn how to dress well for ANYTHING and how to use your money more wisely when purchasing clothes. The man is a god, seriously. And he talks to all social classes, not just to women who can afford a Dior piece, haha! As a bonus, the reader also can enter Dior’s mind and have a glimpse of what was like to live and get dressed in the 1960’s. Spoiler alert: thank God for Macy’s, hahaha! Book Genre: Art, Biography, Business, Costume, Couture, Cultural, Design, Fashion, Fashion Design, France, Nonfiction, Reference, Self HelpIt is a good idea to have one umbrella and many covers for it – then you can have a colour that goes with every outfit. And above all – care for your clothes. You cannot be well groomed if your clothes are not well cared for. Accent I think my title for this review says it all: one can definitely tell it was written in the 1950s. Fur features prominently in here (fox, sable, mink - all are discussed, and the various virtues compared), the styles mentioned revolve heavily around skirts and skirt suits (I’m not sure trousers were mentioned at all), and every picture is of very tiny white woman. Additionally, Dior makes many mentions of what is appropriate for ‘plump’ women in terms of prints and color which, frankly, I have no interest in. Wear what you like! When you have a favorite dress there is no reason why you should not wear it often. It is much better to have few clothes but good ones (…)

But it is possible for a woman to be elegant without spending very much money on her clothes, if she follows the basic rules of Fashion and is careful to choose the clothes that suit her personality. Originally published: London: Cassell, 1954. The Little Dictionary of Fashion: A Guide to Dress Sense for Every Woman by Christian Dior – eBook Details The accent must always have the touch of your personality … The place you put a clip … The way you tie a bow … How you fold your scarf … The colour you choose for your flower …There are also grandmothers – but it is only necessary to dress as a grandmother if you have a certain kind of figure and lead a certain kind of life.) Christian Dior provides definitions and opinions on everything from collars to tweed in this 65-year-old gift book. When I was young, women used much more perfume than they do now and I think that was wonderful and I regret now that more women don't use it lavishly now. After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world. But being so sweet and charming they must be used with care…” Libri ka nje kopertine mbreselenese, me kapak te forte estetikisht te kenaqshem, I thjeshte ne ngjyra dhe stil por me nje lloj sharmi ne thjeshtesine e tij. Ky lloj stili kishte vazhdueshmeri edhe ne brendesi te librit ku lundrimi ishte mjaft I embel.

Pink is the sweetest of all colours. Every woman should have something pink in her wardrobe. It is the colour of happiness and of femininity…” Even if you cannot have your clothes made to measure, try to find the ready-mades that exactly fit your personality.An accent is that little personal touch which makes a dress designed by a couturier your own dress. It is of great importance.
