Dior’s no. 1 lady is back and doesn’t intend on going under the radar. Despite her stealthy new setting in Paris after dark, Dior’s newest ad campaign for Lady Dior which once again casts Dior’s modern-day muse, actress Marion Cotillard, sees the famous female take to the twilight streets with no fear. The renowned city of lights takes on a new form behind the lens of photographer Craig McDean, who utilises a flurry of blurred lights to sculpt the illuminated backdrop for Cotillard’s Lady Dior handbag toting night owl.
Imbued with the couture spirit of Monsieur Dior, the handbag reign as a staple of supreme padded leather elegance continues, adopting a sophisticated simplicity for a modern outlook. In addition to this, the latest portrayal of the capabilities the timeless Dior bag possesses, takes it to new realms that correspond with the bustling nature of our modern age, yet equally captures the nocturnal nuances of a romantic moonlit dinner. Something the contemporary Dior lady is at ease in her familiarity with.
