Following the reopening of 30 Avenue Montaigne in 2022,
this exquisite volume oers a unique look into the
metamorphosis of the House of Dior’s legendary Parisian
headquarters via images captured by acclaimed photographer
Robert Polidori. or over two years, the iconic hôtel particulier underwent a
radical transformation, during which Polidori was granted
exclusive access to the site for the entire duration of the
restoration-documenting the original state, the demolition
phase, and the reconstruction of Dior’s couture house.
Registering the past, present, and future of the spaces within a
single frame, Polidori’s images capture layers of history in
extraordinary detail. Enriched with archival documents, his
impressive iconography offers an extraordinary visual
experience recorded in one of the nest pieces of bookmaking,
beautifully printed on luxurious European papers.
