Christian Dior (born in Normandy, France in 1905) is commonly known as "The most recognized name in fashion..." Starting his design career in 1938 for Robert Piquet, Dior opened his own fashion house in 1946. For his first collection in 1947, he created the extremely popular "New Look", as a designer Dior being the opposite of Chanel. Continuously growing, the Dior house was the home - between others - of Yves Saint Laurent, Gianfranco Ferré and John Galliano. Collections like Flight, Tulip, H-line, Aline, Yline, express an unique mix of feminism, opulence and extravagance.

New from high-profile fashion photographer Thierry Le Goues comes a lavish artist's book, Popular--an earthy, luring tome of the rarely shown Havana social scene. In Le Goues' provocative duotone and sensuous four-color photographs, we're seduced by a culture of great joy amongst great poverty: raucous, heat-soaked street parties; spirited sparring matches in crumbling gymnasiums; voluptuous nudes plying their wares in derelict mansions; wizened balladeers savoring impossibly large Cohibas...Le Goues' models are drawn from the street: a mixture of Buena Vista Social Club stars and underground legends, the miscegenation of which, in Le Goues' expert fashion sense, serves to create a raw, sexy style--one of abandon out of necessity, out of a lust for life--a spirit Le Goues sees in Cuba as ubiquitous as the cigarettes from which the book draws its name.

"I fell in love with the country and with the people," LeGoues says, trying to give a simple explanation on how this book came about. It was on his first fashion editorial assignment in 1988 that he first had the chance to travel to Cuba and discover his passion for the unique island nation. Years later, he would return with a Cuban photo assistant and with a desire to get to know the place better.
