Dior and I: A Documentary by Frederic Tching

Written by Allison Oberlin

The world of haute couture fashion appears exclusive, mysterious and to many consumers elitist. Haute couture is the non-commercial side of fashion that is more theatrical and meant to create a spectacle. It also stays true to the origins of fashion before machines had been invented and people sewed by hand.

One way to break through stereotypes about the couture industry is to inform the public in the best way possible. Today, that way is through film. In 2008 a documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor gave the world an inside look into the life or the legendary fashion designer, Valentino and his aesthetic and perspectives on fashion.

Now a new film has followed a different fashion label, the House of Dior to focus on a very new designer, the creative director for Dior, Raf Simons. Dior and I focuses on the Belgian designer as he begins with this position in the couture house in April 2012. One employee states that, “Raf wasn’t the obvious candidate. People said, ‘Oh he’s a minimalist’ ” meaning that his understated vision was the antithesis of Dior’s aesthetic.

The film follows Simons through the making of his first haute couture show with the fashion house for Autumn/Winter 2012/2013. This was a large undertaking for any designer, most shows take months of planning and he planned it within eight weeks. He also had to work with a new team, a new brand and design for couture which he said was a different concept for him. From the beginning of the movie the odds appear to be against him. However, we have all seen the show, posted by New York Fashion Week, which appeared to have gone on without a hitch. In many ways he stayed true to Dior’s full silhouette that the couturier made iconic in 1947; however he also adds modern looks that appear either painted or dyed into patterns on the fabric. The overall effect stayed true to the house and still incorporated modern concepts.

The movie shows a realistic perspective of fashion, one that people never get to see. It is despite the glamorous advertisements in magazines and the grandeur of the event itself, creating such wonderful works of art is stressful. No matter how many months (or in this case weeks) of planning that goes into a collection many unexpected problems occur. The designer may decide to spray paint a blazer a different color, an elevator might get stuck at the worst time possible, but the team must keep the end goal in sight. Such an event is only successful with a great leader and a supportive as well as talented team. You can watch the trailer here and see the exclusive look at the house at a city near you.

    The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad
    and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share
    it with someone!

    Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a
    lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet
    hosting provider at a fair price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two
    pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  10. quest bars cheap

    I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
    I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t
    already ;) Cheers!

    take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been surprised me.

    Howdy! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I
    had to ask. Does building a well-established blog like yours take a
    large amount of work? I’m completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary everyday.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online.

    Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new
    aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

    In the awesome design of things you’ll secure a B+ for effort. Exactly where you lost me ended up being on all the details. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more true here. Having said that, allow me say to you exactly what did give good results. The text is definitely very persuasive and this is probably the reason why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, although I can certainly see the jumps in logic you make, I am not certain of just how you appear to connect your ideas that make the final result. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but hope in the near future you connect the facts much better.

    I request more people would write sites like this that are as a matter of fact constructive to read. With all the fluff floating almost on the web, it is rare to look over a position like yours instead.

    An fascinating discussion will probably be worth comment. I believe that you ought to write more on this topic, may possibly not be described as a taboo subject but usually everyone is too little to communicate on such topics. To another location. Cheers

    El C tendrá una suspensión muy sofisticada (hay gente a la que no le gusta, segun comentan en este mismo portal, en la prueba del clase E), pero en los demas aspectos mecanicos es del montón directamente del furgon de cola (en motores asi era, hasta que le han puesto el 3 litros diesel). La flexibilidad está pilotada de manera independiente con 2 estados en cada eje; autoadaptativa en función del estilo de conducción, del perfil de la carretera y de la velocidad. Respecto a los dueños de los Mercedes, estos me hacen también por lo general mucha gracia.

    What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
