Description

If you are a fan of fashion history, particularly the fabulous heights of Parisian couture, then today’s episode of Young at Art is for you. Harry is joined by renowned journalist and author Justine Picardie to discuss her latest book: Miss Dior, a Story of Courage and Couture which traces the life of Catherine Dior, the youngest sister of world famous French couturier Christian Dior.

From WWII resistance fighter to couturier’s muse, her tale is gripping for start to finish.
