When the French designer Christian Dior presented his first collection in Paris in 1947, he changed fashion forever. Dior's "New Look" created a striking, romantic vision of femininity, luxury, and grace, making him―and his last name―famous overnight. One woman informed Dior's vision more than any other: his sister, Catherine, a Resistance fighter, concentration camp survivor, and cultivator of rose gardens who inspired Dior's most beloved fragrance, Miss Dior. Yet the story of Catherine's remarkable life―so different from her famous brother's―has never been told, until now. Drawing on the Dior archives and extensive research, Justine Picardie's Miss Dior is the long-overdue restoration of Catherine Dior's life. ![]() English | 2019 |MP3|M4B | ISBN: 140554399X | Duration: 10:23 h | 285 MB Carol Dweck / Narrated by Bernadette Dunne ![]() English | ASIN: B09F3TW5J2 | 2021 | 3 hours and 36 minutes |MP3|M4B | 109 MB You need to know that mindfulness is composed by a set of practices that you can incorporate powerfully into your daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness, and exhaustion.
