The article highlights one of Moss Manor’s favorite coffee table books, the Christian Dior, 60th Anniversary book! Stunning original photography and text immortalize 150 haute couture dresses by the some of the 2oth century’s most prominent designers, from legendary French designer Christian Dior to John Galliano, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan and Gianfranco Ferre.
