After a two course lunch with a glass of wine, Justine Picardie recounts the life of Catherine Dior: Resistance fighter, concentration camp survivor, cultivator of rose gardens, and the woman who, more than any other, informed Christian Dior’s ‘New Look’ – a striking, romantic vision of femininity, luxury, and grace.
Justine Picardie, former features director of Vogue, editor of the Observer magazine and a columnist for The Telegraph, is now editor-in-chief for Harper’s Bazaar. Her other books include her memoir If The Spirit Moves You, the best selling biography Coco Chanel, and her most recent novel Daphne.
