Filmed in Versailles by fashion image masters
Inez and Vinoodh, Dior's latest film, Secret Garden, features models Daria
Strokous, Melissa Stasiuk, and Xiao Wen Ju running like mad through the breathtaking
hallways and gardens of the famed chateau. It's finally here — and it's totally
gorgeous. Dressed (and at times also slightly undressed) in the label's
pre-Fall 2012 collection, the girls are the picture of elegance, while Depeche
Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" provides the perfect, haunting soundtrack.
Christian Dior made
direct reference to the palace in several of his first collections, and in 1955
even created an embroidery thread which he dubbed the "Versailles gold
braid." This isn't the first time the iconic label has used Versailles as
inspiration. In 2007, the house's then
designer John Galliano staged the label's 60th anniversary couture show in the
palace's Orangerie. More recently, the 2011 Dior J'adore fragrance ad starring
Charlize Theron was filmed by Jean-Jacques Annaud in the castle's storied Hall
of Mirrors.
