Dior have released a new book of couture images captured by fashion photographer Paolo Roversi.
Dior Images Paolo Roversi is a collaboration between the couture house with leading creative Roversi and documents a series of iconic pictures taken by the photographer and published in leading fashion magazines over the last 27 years. The collection of images features models including Naomi Campbell, Natalia Vodianova and Laetitia Casta.
In addition to archive images, the book exclusively reveals a selection of Christian Dior’s most beautiful designs, photographed during a session that famous stylist Grace Coddington worked on.
A native of Ravenna in Italy, Paolo Roversi arrived in Paris in 1973. He discovered the work of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn and went on to meet Robert Frank, Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton. In the 1990s, he began to photograph Haute Couture creations for prestigious magazines such as Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, British Vogue and W. Paolo Roversi has spent over forty years creating a remarkable and profoundly poetic body of work. His skilful use of Polaroid film combined with a large-format camera underpins a highly sensitive view of women, helping to create the fragile grace that makes his style immediately recognisable. His frequent use of blurs evokes the origins of fashion photography and removes the dividing line between the models’ bodies and the world that surrounds them.
