Zaire dress, Autumn-Winter 1954 collection, H line. A rare photograph of Christian Dior’s dress rehearsal, which demonstrates both the power of LIFE and how much Mark Shaw was trusted by the fashion house. Taken a night before the show, the designer sat center in the front row and used his signature baton to give direction. All Mark Shaw prints are made to order in limited editions on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. Each print is Estate stamped on the back and signed and numbered by David Shaw, and accompanied by a letter of authenticity. Lead time is four to six weeks, but we often receive them sooner.

*Please note this image is available in several sizes. Prices increase as editions sell out.
