DIOR AND I

"A piece of superb filmmaking that opens a rare window into a hidden world." -Independent

"Simply the best movie about fashion I've seen." -Daphne Merkin, Elle

"A great fashion movie, but it's also a superb picture about the art of management, applicable to any field." -Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice

Frédéric Tcheng's solo directorial debut 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.
