It's difficult to imagine a house with more beautiful imagery than that of Dior—one that has always prioritized elegance and embraced drama. Rizzoli and a new exhibition launching May 3 at the Christian Dior Museum in Normandy are leveraging those beautiful photos with, "The Legendary Images: Great Photographers And Dior." A tribute to the lensmen and women who have captured the house's ethos in photos, the exhibit and book showcase a timeline from Pat English's photos from Christian Dior's first fashion show to Avedon's iconic image of Dovima with elephants to Robert Pattinson by Nan Goldin for Dior Homme. See some of the standouts here before the tome goes on sale April 30.
