My apologies for my lack of posts as of late. I have been meaning to share the latest instalment by Dior, following on from the enigmatic Secret Garden, combining a Depeche Mode soundtrack and my passions; Art and Fashion
The Château de Versailles is an emblem of Dior’s tradition and hosts a new tale which brings to life the Dior Autumn 2013 collection by Raf Simons.
“Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe” by Edouard Manet is the inspiration behind this film. Manet was rejected by the Paris Salon and often confused for Monet (similar surnames and styles), Manet pioneered Realism and Impressionism, and his painting notably “Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe” and "Olympia" have been considered catalysts to the Modern Art movement.
Below I share a photo I took whilst in Paris, although it doesn't do it justice!
And the film...
