Dior Metamorphosis

Following the reopening of 30 Avenue Montaigne in 2022, this exquisite volume offers a unique look at the metamorphosis of the House of Dior’s legendary Parisian headquarters through images captured by acclaimed photographer Robert Polidori. Over two years, the iconic Hôtel Particulier underwent a radical transformation, during which Polidori was granted exclusive access to the site for the entire duration of the restoration documenting the original state, the demolition phase, and the reconstruction of Dior’s haute couture house. Recording the past, present, and future of the spaces within a single frame, Polidori’s images capture layers of history in extraordinary detail. Enriched with archival documents, its stunning iconography offers an extraordinary visual experience recorded in one of the nest reserve pieces, beautifully printed in luxurious European newspapers.
