How incredibly epic was the setting of this year’s Dior Cruise fashion show! I was really impressed by the choices of venues the French Haute Couture House has for their presentations every single time; it’s always something you wouldn’t expect at all. And that’s the great thing about it, Dior constantly keeps on being inspirational and innovative in its development.
Le Palais Bulles, Pierre Cardin’s (who worked for Dior from 1946 until 1950 as the first tailor in the workshop of Christian Dior) famous bubble house reminded me of the Flinstones or Teletubbies house 🙂 ! The futuristically looking palace (available to rent!!) was designed by a Hungarian architect, Antti Lovag, in the late 70’s and is located on the Côte d’Azur. To be more precise it lies in Théoule-sur-Mer near Cannes, which includes, besides an infinity pool, curvilinear rooftops and palm trees a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea as well.
Many celebrities attended the fashion show, among them Academy Award Winner Marillon Cotillard, who is one of Dior’s testimonials, Miroslava Duma – fashion icon and founder of buro24/7, Aimee Song of the blog “Song of Style”, Zoë Kravitz, Dakota Fanning and many others.
