Fab Ad: Marion Cotillard Returns as Lady Dior For Fall '09

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Lady Dior's Spring '09 ad with Marion Cotillard was so successful, the French actress is back for Fall. But this time around, New York City, not Paris, is the setting. Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the cinematic image of Marion as "Lady Red," the mirror suggesting a double life. A second scene - Marion getting ready for her close-up as a femme fatale - is slated for later in the season. These ads will debut in August issues and will be plastered around Paris during Fashion Week in October. What are your thoughts on this first one?

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Goes Antianimal, Hermes Goes Pro

FabSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has the pick of the litter when it comes to wearing sumptuous designer creations but her selection might be a little more limited now that she's vowed to be more animal friendly. "I do not wear, buy, or own fur or animal skin other than leather or skin of animals raised for feeding purposes. I am not a vegetarian and I don't find it illogical to wear skins of animals whose meat is also eaten." said Bruni-Sarkozy in a recent letter to PETA. Will Carla inspire others to do the same?

Meanwhile, Hermes has just announced it will start breeding its own crocodiles to keep up with the high demand for its iconic handbags. Despite the recession, Hermes produces 3,000 crocodile bags a year, which is not enough for the crazy waiting list - often several years long - of customers. "We cannot face demand. We have massive overdemand. The world is not full of crocodiles." said Hermes chief executive, Patrick Thomas.

Certainly two different views on using animals for fashion. Are you on team Carla or team Hermes?

Marion Cotillard and John Galliano and the Mystery of Handbags

FabSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I can't live without my bags. After all, it's where I store my daily necessities, and in the case of clutches, my bare necessities. But you don't have to take my word for it.

In a recent interview, French actress and Dior face Marion Cotillard dished about the most important thing in her handbag. “I have this little black book that I write things in. It’s sometimes dangerous things you have in your mind that you put in your little black book and it’s not as dangerous anymore,” said Cotillard. Sounds tantalizing, can we have a peek?

John Galliano's take on handbags is equally sassy, stating, “It is part of their charm, their secret weapon. Who knows what’s in there - keys, wallet, phone. That is all to be expected. Who’s to say what door that spare key opens; why she has her passport tucked in when she’s only going up the road and whose phone number she has scrawled on the back of an envelope . . . I love the unknown - and the what might be.”

Fab Flash: The Lady Noire Affair, Featuring Marion Cotillard

FabSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Marion Cotillard is bringing her sultry je ne sais quoi to Dior in more ways than one. In addition to headlining its Lady Dior ad campaign, Cotillard has been chosen to star in the brand's mini movie, The Lady Noire Affair. “We wanted to capture the glamour, the intrigue, the heroine and the mysterious allure that radiates around her,” said John Galliano, Dior's creative director. “Marion has brought the Dior woman to life. She is incredible.”

The six minute mini-thriller, directed by Olivier Dahan, shows Cotillard running after a mob of gangsters in Paris with, of course, her Lady Dior bag in tow. Scenes of a kidnapping, struggle, mysterious package delivery, and cryptic phone calls are also involved - exciting! Check out the film on May 20 at ladydior.com.

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:00:08 -0800

You probably heard that I'll be spending NYE in Thailand this year - I can't wait! Since Thailand is tropical paradise, I've been looking for an ethnic-inspired outfit to ring in the New Year. jds223 must have heard my call for help. She translated this colorful portrait into a vibrant New Year's Eve ensemble. The printed maxi dress would be perfect for fireworks on the beach and I love those bright clutches. Note how the gold accessories evoke a dash of bohemian elegance. I'll take one of each, please.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:00:22 -0800

When I interviewed Nicky at her Fall runway show at LA Fashion Week, she talked about how much she loved jackets and outerwear. I hear that. Here she is at the grand opening of the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills showing us her style skills. Though she's a total California girl, she knows how to layer. It doesn't really matter what's under this ensemble, it's all about her sharp tweed coat, cozy scarf, sheer hose, and Louboutin boots. Nicky isn't winning your votes for Sidewalk Style Star of 2008, but she'll always be in the running because of creations like this.

Fab Ad: Lady Dior Spring '09 With Marion Cotillard

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:00:08 -0800

Warning: the Lady Dior Spring '09 ad you're seeing has been done by highly trained professionals and should not be recreated! French actress Marion Cotillard appears to be standing at the edge of the Eiffel Tower to fulfill her modeling duties as the face of Christian Dior's Lady Dior handbags. Of course, the always-handy Photoshop has made it possible for this shot to be fantastical. But let's not forget to credit photographer Peter Lindbergh for capturing this beautiful shot of Marion and her handbag. What do you think? Is Lady Dior's latest ad magical or unrealistic?
