Description

In a second volume, Niedermair returns with a book devoted to the special creative process she employs to design her hyper-constructed images for Dior. A collection of her best production, the photographs in the book are accompanied by illustrations, collages, and sketches drawn by Niedermair herself to prepare and build her sets, thus revealing the finesse and rigor of her artistic practice for the very first time. From iconic fashion photography to Renaissance painting, from references to Dior s history to contemporary art, her sources of inspiration are endlessly rich and often surprising, and her drawings are work of art in themselves.
