Retro Looks In The Modern World: Slips

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Slips are not an everyday item as they once were but they are still relevant and sexy.

Mid-Week Inspiration: The Lady Noire

Last week I presented the Chanel mini-film Train de Nuit. This week's inspiration is Dior's The Lady Noire, (chapter 1; The Lady Noire Affaire). Just under 7 minutes, this film/advert takes us back to the film noir days of the 40's with intriguing music, dark shadows, and a confusing plot. The stunning actress Marion Cotillard is reunited with director Olivier Dahan, both from La Vie en Rose fame. Cleverly this film shows us the wonderful Christian Dior accessories in her Lady Dior bag and my favorite, her shoes. Want more? Go to the Lady Dior site for behind the scenes footage and the making of the bag!

Mid-Week Inspiration: Lady Dior

Oooh I love Paris and I love the new ads for Lady Dior starring Marion Cotillard. She looks amazing perched above Paris on top of the Eiffel Tower clutching her handbag. I do have say that I'm not so into the bag but the shoes are calling my name! Gorgeous!
