Dior to honor its famous designers with new book collection

The House of Dior is celebrating its 70th anniversary by honoring each of its designers throughout history with a series of reference books. Gianfranco Ferré, who became the first Italian to head up the house in 1989, and John Galliano, who took up the role in 1996 but was dismissed amidst controversy over alleged anti-Semitic remarks in 2011, will also get their own volumes.
