There are two fashion designers in the world of Paris couture whose stories are intertwined: Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.

Dior's debut collection in 1947 revolutionised womenswear. The last word in opulence and elegance, the House of Dior evolved to become ever-relevant but true to its founder's vision. Yves Saint Laurent took the reins at Dior after Christian's untimely death, and astonished the world with his talent and creativity, turning haute couture into fine art.

Made in Paris is the stunning gift set of two hardback books that, through over 200 images and expert text, tells the story of two visionaries who changed the world of fashion forever.
