At the end of the 1920s, Christian Dior and Christian Bérard met and formed an unfailing friendship, fuelled by a love of art, fashion and the theatre. While Christian Dior, inventor of the New Look, revolutionised his era by redesigning women's silhouettes, Christian Bérard, a brilliant jack-of-all-trades - painter, decorator, costume designer - unleashed his creativity, sense of excess and flamboyant personality.

Richly illustrated with works of art and photographs, some of which have never been published before, this book plunges us into the Paris of the Belle Époque, through the story of the friendship between Dior and Bérard, their dreams, their affinities and their secrets.
