Marion Cotillard in Dior Comedy

Fashion houses and beauty empires choose different movie stars to be the face of their brands, they're not only beautiful but also familiar and have the ability to naturally attract attention and create a lasting bond through their film roles on the silver screen.

We're already familiar with Marion Cotillard as the face of Lady Dior, the iconic handbag which was immortalised by Princess Diana in 1995 by simply carrying it in her hand.

"John chose amazing actors and it's always a pleasure to work with amazing people, it makes everything simple." Marion Cotillard.

It was the first comedy they did for Dior, Cameron was inspired by a short film by Richard Avedon with Lauren Hutton.

Short films have become an effective way to cement the identity of a fashion house and to promote new and classic products to an increasingly demanding audience.
