the lady noire affair

marion cotillard, christian dior's leading lady and an oscar winning actress, is starring in a mini-series of short films to promote the lady dior handbag. the first short premiered today and is filmed in a dark and suspenseful hitchcockian style by oliver dahan, cotillard's director for la vie en rose. watch the trailer below for a short clip of the glamorous promo which will no doubt start a trend soon to be followed by other design houses...

vintage style

one of the reasons why I love watching old classic movies is because of the clooothes! I like to live vicariously through the characters who embraced dressing up everyday no matter what they were doing. sometimes I pretend that I'm sitting in between Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart spying on the neighbors and then I remember that I'm just watching rear window on tv in my sweatpants. so, when I saw the pre fall 2009 collection from Christian Dior I couldn’t have been more excited.
