Dior & I, called one of the best movies about fashion, will screen for a week at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre starting tomorrow April 24 until April 30. If you’ve ever wondered what it took for Raf Simons to put on his first couture collection in ONLY EIGHT weeks for the revered fashion house after the John Galliano scandal? The film closely follows Florence Chehet, the dynamic and upbeat première for the atelier flou, and Monique Bailly, the anxious and quick- witted première for the atelier tailleur. The film will also be screened at River East theater in River North.
Dior and I, directed by Frédéric Tcheng, follows Raf Simons as he explores Dior’s archives for
inspiration, visiting Christian Dior’s childhood home in Granville, Normandy and the the personal bonds that form between the collaborators, their work, and the legacy of Christian Dior.
“Dior and I brings the viewer inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house with a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Raf Simons’ first haute couture collection as its new artistic director—a true labor of love created by a dedicated group of collaborators. Melding the everyday, pressure- filled components of fashion with mysterious echoes from the iconic brand’s past, the film is also a colorful homage to the seamstresses who serve Simons’ vision.”
