Inside "Dior"

A few years ago I watched the exceptional film "Valentino: The Last Emperor" and enjoyed it immensely. Now there is another film about a fashion designer, "Dior and I" made by the same filmmaker, Frederic Tcheng. I am so eager to see this film about Raf Simons, who took over the helm of Christian Dior in 2012. Go here to read an interview of Tcheng and here to watch a preview of "Dior and I."

Yet another reason for me to return to Paris! There is an exhibit at the Hotel de Ville, which "gives visitors an opportunity to admire some exceptional examples of haute couture dresses or outfits, chosen from among the most beautiful pieces in the Galliera museum collections."
