It’s hard to believe the impeccable timing of these events. Just earlier last week, I was reading about the film DIOR AND I from various fashion publications. Then last Friday, it was recommended to me as a ‘must-see’ at the introduction to Dior’s latest skincare range, Prestige White Collection by a Parisian. And just now, I have been given the opportunity to invite my readers to come along to the screening!
If you liked the famed fashion docos Valentino: The Last Emperor, and Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel, then you’re in for even more of a treat from French director Frédéric Tcheng. DIOR AND I is in cinemas from March 26. Here is the synopsis and the trailer:
DIOR AND I is a tantalising ‘behind-the-seams’ glimpse at the making of Raf Simons’ first haute couture collection for Christian Dior in 2012.
Established in the fashion world as a minimalist designer, Simons has both his reputation and the legacy of Dior on the line when appointed Creative Director of the iconic Parisian brand. With only eight weeks to complete the collection, Simons and his dedicated group of collaborators work against time to make his vision a sublime reality. Melding the everyday, pressure-filled world of fashion with mysterious echoes from Dior’s past, the film is also a colourful homage to the long-serving seamstresses at the couturier, as history is once again created at Dior.

So I leave you with one of my favourite quotes from the late and the great Christian Dior, ironic but true:
“Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.”
Here’s wishing you a simple, tasty and well-groomed weekend!
I can’t wait to be transported by this film to the elegance, whimsy and beauty of the house of Dior, its talented seamstresses and of course, Paris. I am looking forward to being a fly on the wall to observe what I imagine to be be a highly stressful but rewarding and engaging profession.
I would love to win this ticket to Dior and I because fashion is all I ever dream about. I have been a fan of both the house of Dior and Raf Simons and I would absolutely love to have a behind the scenes glimpse into what exactly goes on in the crazy amazing world of fashion.

Dior is the master, haute couture so chic.
A chance to see the movie would be magnifique!
Dior is one of my favourite fashion brands. To see all the beautiful collections on screen would simply be amazing!
I love to learn about the methods behind the look, this looks like it will be fascinating.
I really wouldn’t like to watch it, but if I take my wife I’m going to win some seriously huge brownie points because she’s dying to see it. Will make for a nice ‘date night’. A thank you as such for all the action and sci-fi flicks she’s graciously accompanied me to.
I’m busy sewing a bridesmaid’s dress at the moment… I’d love to be temporarily transported a world away to the professional world of dressmaking!
Dior is so inspiring. When I first started my label, a few of my collections were inspired by the Dior new look. It has been a while since I’ve seen a wonderful fashion film and I would love to rekindle my love with haute couture, starting with Dior.

Clothing over centuries has transcended its necessity to often become an expression of art. It is pure luxury in human creativity. And Dior, he is the man who has most revelled in this virtue of existence.
For a few hours I’d love to step into the world of haute couture and take my stylish sister with me to watch it!
I live and breathe fashion so would love to experience this
I really would like to watch this movie because all Dior universe is a poetry to create the most beautiful garments inspired by nature, elegance and femininity, and of course it’s remind me my country
Dior is synonymous with classic sophistication, glamour and style!

All I ever think about is fashion. Dior is my favourite luxury label and I have been waiting for this to come to Australia ever since it first came out overseas. I cant’ wait to watch it!
I <3 haute couture, so this film would be so fun to watch.
