What was the title of Christian Dior’s autobiography, published in English as Christian Dior and I?

Christian Dior’s autobiography was titled Christian Dior et moi, published in English as Christian Dior and I.

The book presents Dior’s account of his life and work, including his childhood, early artistic interests, years as an illustrator, experiences with established fashion houses, and the creation of his own couture business. It is an important first-person source for understanding how Dior described his career and design philosophy.

The title is often confused with Dior by Dior, another Dior-related book title associated with the designer and the house. The two should not be treated as interchangeable. Christian Dior et moi is the autobiographical work identified with the English title Christian Dior and I.

Dior’s writing also reflects the personal and imaginative language he used when discussing clothes, flowers, architecture, and the atmosphere of Parisian couture. His autobiography therefore complements, rather than replaces, the material history of the 1947 New Look.
