If you are a fan of fashion history, particularly the fabulous heights of Parisian couture, then today’s episode of Young at Art is for you. Harry is joined by renowned journalist and author Justine Picardie to discuss her latest book: Miss Dior, a Story of Courage and Couture which traces the life of Catherine Dior, the youngest sister of world famous French couturier Christian Dior.

Today, Harry is on a mission to highlight their cultural significance, dispelling their connotations of a grandma’s day-out and instead inspiring people to see the benefit of a storied artistic experience that truly connects people with the history and objects of our past.
