“Dior Glamour is a glorious record...Shaw didn’t just shoot the gorgeous clothes but caught the workings of the house.” ~Wall Street Journal “Demonstrating an unrehearsed fluidity—an honesty—Dior Glamour explores the photographer’s work, chronicling his experience with Christian Dior. The era of 1952 to 1962 called for a sort of sweet beauty—a pretty elegance—to reinvigorate the spirit of the world. Shaw embraced his task of communicating Dior’s message with aplomb, forever captivating this moment of glamour.” ~Quest Magazine “…relish the ultimate romance of the creations of fashion’s iconic standard-bearer, Christian Dior....readers are treated to the phenomenal art that is truly Christian Dior. It’s what all the best coffee tables will be wearing this fall.” ~Beverly Drive
