In today’s episode, I will review the book “Miss Dior: A story of Courage and Couture” by Justine Picardie, which was published end of 2021 and is available in French and English. Through the story of Catherine Dior, the sister of the famous designer Christian Dior, the author paints the picture of the French society just before the Second World War started, the dark period of the collaboration and the partition of the French territory into the free zone and the occupied zone and the relations and roles the fashion industry played during the war and after, during the reconstruction years.
