SCREENINGS

This fresh documentary tells the story of a man who immediately took the fashion world by storm with his first collection in early 1947, presenting a controversial new fashion. Dior's fashion designs are animated and accompanied by commentary from the audio archives, replacing the audience of the 1950s.

For the film, Prigent has interviewed fashion historians and friends of Dior, as well as seamstresses who worked for Dior and today's stars who wear the Dior brand, such as Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence. Among the former icons, Dior creations were preferred by Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth and Marlene Dietrich, who, by the way, only wore Dior!

Fashion designer Gerly Tinn will make an introduction to the film screening.
