Book - 'Stars In Dior'
Marlene Dietrich, Sophia Loren, Olivia de Havilland,
Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Ingrid Bergman, Elizabeth
Taylor… All famous names who starred in the greatest
films, shot by the finest directors and all dressed in some
of the most amazing couture creations by the House of
Dior.
They were faithful clients of Dior Haute Couture,
Perfumes and Make-Up and close friends of Christian
Dior, and in some cases, his successors too. So it was quite
natural that they should ask to be dressed in Dior for
their appearances on screen and at the celebrated movie
ceremonies held around the world (the Academy Awards,
the César Awards and the Golden Globes). Today’s great
names are Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Penélope
Cruz, Kirsten Dunst, Monica Bellucci… Times have
changed but the passion for Dior stays the same.
The Dior filmography is impressive, featuring over 90
films. It started in 1942: Christian Dior was fascinated by
film and became a costume designer even before his
couture house was created in 1946.
This book devotes a special place to the J’adore
advertisement starring Charlize Theron, in which cinema
magic brings back to life Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly
and Marilyn Monroe, all of whom had their own links with
the House of Dior.
Film stills, location shots, photographs and portraits
of actresses: the 250 illustrations in the book take us deep
into the most glamorous aspects of the film world.
Release France: May 2012 / Release US: September 2012
