PHOTOS: Marion Cotillard Reprises Her Starring Role For Lady Dior
If ever there were a match made in fashion heaven, Marion Cotillard and Christian Dior are it. While we’ve heard some doubts about whether Jennifer Lawrence or Mila Kunis have been quite the right fit for the brand, it seems like no one can deny the Gallic beauty’s sophisticated allure (and ability to shill Lady Dior handbags like nobody’s business). Plus, the technicolor lighting in this shoot is just amazing.

Raf Simons‘ second ready-to-wear show for Christian Dior walked today in Paris, which meant we were at our screens bright and early to catch the live stream of the hotly-anticipated event.

PHOTOS: Raf Simons’ First Dior Campaign Is Here!
We’re always ready to wax poetic about our love for Raf Simons‘ first ready-to-wear collection for Christian Dior, and Jil Sander‘s campaigns during the designer’s tenure at the house are minimalist perfection. So we’re sad to say this season’s Dior ads just aren’t doing it for us.

Saint Laurent Paris Is Not Impressed With Women’s Wear Daily
Last week, Women’s Wear Daily published several oddly-timed stories about Paris Fashion Week. One piece by Miles Socha compared Hedi Slimane‘s Saint Laurent debut to Raf Simons‘ Christian Dior ready-to-wear. The general verdict is that everyone loved Simons’ collection, while Slimane’s collection was well-reviewed by retailers, but not so much by critics like Cathy Horyn. Naturally, the crew at Saint Laurent Paris didn’t like the article, so CEO Paul Deneve sent in a letter to the editors at WWD.

Or should we say haus? The designer has quite a strong Belgian accent, you see.
PHOTOS: Everything You Need To Know About Raf Simons’ First Dior RTW Show
We’ll admit we were pretty giddy with anticipation this morning as we watched the crowd settle down at Raf Simons’ first-ever ready-to-wear show for Christian Dior. Unfortunately, we were at our desks in New York rather than in the stark white box of a venue the brand set up on the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris, but that fact barely diminished our excitement. Between Twitter, Instagram, and livestreaming, there’s plenty to take in even if you’re 3,000 miles away.
