French Film Matinée - Dior And I
–
10 June, 2024
Filmmaker Frédéric Tchang follows up his work on excellent fashion films with another masterful exploration of a towering fashion institution. In Dior And I, one enters the storied world that is the House of Christian Dior with a privileged behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Raf Simon's highly anticipated first Haute Couture collection as the iconic brand's new Artistic Director. From conception through to its ultimate exhibition, the process is shown to be a true labour of love by the stoic Simons and a dedicated, charming and often humerous team of collaborators. Beautifully melding the everyday, pressure-filled components of fashion with an elegant reverence for the history of Dior, Tchang's colourful homage to the seamstresses of the atelier is nothing short of magical.
