Film Noir Meets Fashion - Lady Dior Cannage Bag Film

Dior has done it again! Besides their fabulous clothing & accessories collections, even their AD campaigns are now captivate our imaginations! Directed by Olivier Dahan , featuring French actress Marion Cotillard, Dior has released a mini film of its own - a lady James Bond adventure. For this ad campaign, Dior has invited 2008 Oscar winning French actress Marion Cotillard as its advertisement spokesperson as well as the famous photographer Peter Lindbergh to take shots. Taking a fancy to Marion’s noble temperament, so Dior selected her to be the model who can match with the new Lady Dior Cannage Bag perfectly.



"Chapter 1: A Lady Noire Affair". The film shows off the men in perfectly pressed Dior Homme suits, and Marion Cotillard rushing up the Eiffel Tower in amazing black heels, distinctly shaped "Diorette" sunglasses and the Lady Dior Handbag. Dior has cleverly put their best selling handbag on display with a short film and the episodes will continue. I'll be blissfully await the next video made in New York "Lady Rouge".



Below you can view “The Lady Noire Affair”, which was released in May. Do not expect to get all the answers right away. If you pay careful attention there are clues provided. So who will save lady Dior? We will have to wait and see.



It’s said that the reason why this bag is so famous is kinda related with our familiar Princess Diana. "In 1995, at the Cezanne Art Exhibition sponsored by Dior Corporation, the former French First Lady Bernadette Chirac sent Princess Diana a new model of Christian Dior bags as a gift." Then Dior immediately named this unreleased bag "Lady Dior" - gracefully to the name extremely. And Diana also liked this bag so much that she carried it in many important official occasions, then this bag has fired up.

Beautiful website designs

Below are a cross section of different, feminine websites I have found in my travels in cyber reality. I've selected sites for diversity from the garden variety sites that I normally see on the web.

 I'm seeing alot of collage, watercolour, paper clips, note paper, old photos, grunge effects and retro elements from the 50's and 80's which looks to me like a 30 year cycle. There's a desire to find from the past, something missing from the present and future. It's worth thinking about. Many designers are looking for something beyond the flatness of the 2 dimensional website with shiny bars and buttons, and search for something real to hold onto.

Vintage advertising - 2

Are these heavenly? I love the aesthetic, the colours and the simple production techniques. The packaging is so glamorous and the world is such a beautiful, movie star fantasy. I guess not much has changed in fragrance and cosmetics advertising, except that the message is more subtle and the production is more slick. It makes me feel like a glamorpuss sitting here in studio, even though I'm wearing Juicy trackie bottoms and an old t-shirt (it's saturday). I can escpae into this perfectly grooms world of etiquette, ladies who do lunch and saunter down fabulous sweeping stair cases to greet their amazingly wealthy and handsome husband or date.
