\u201cThe couturier knows it: each woman is a princess.\u201d An iconic piece born from a desire to capture Dior\u2019s couture allure, this bag diffuses the Lady allure that was so near and dear to Christian\u2019s heart. Elegant, carried by hand, it first came out of the ateliers in 1994, marking a bold break with the oversized trends of the era.<\/p>\n
Two years later, the \u201cLady Dior\u201d was christened on the arm of Princess Diana who got hold of one on a visit to Paris. Success would immediately follow its release in stores. Today, it\u2019s the beautiful and talented Marion Cotillard that\u2019s taking on this bag. The brand\u2019s reference bag, the four letters D-i-o-r appear with a light tingle on a backdrop of the actress\u2019 elegant movements. The hoop-shaped handle symbolizes a femininity rooted in couture gestuality.<\/p>\n
This season the brand is releasing two new versions – and the ad campaign captures two in particular. Through the lens of German photographer Peter Lindbergh, Marion Cotillard shows off the Lady Dior in an atmosphere that\u2019s equally enrapturing and poetic on the banks of the Seine. Featured is a black leather cannage motif style with a wide crystal-embroidered strap, as well as a micro-cannage metallic style evoking the original Napoleon III chairs that still haven\u2019t ceased to hypnotize us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
