Iconic fashion house Dior open their doors to documentarian Frederic Tcheng’s cameras on the verge of new artistic director Raf Simons’ first haute-couture collection

Pairing the everyday behind-the-scenes work with glamorous events and celebrities, Tcheng’s feature catches the importance of the design and the work ethic of its seamstresses while embracing the company’s history and its revered standing in the fashion world. In doing so Dior and I succeeds in becoming an insightful glimpse into an otherwise hidden world that follows in the footsteps of The September Issue and Tcheng’s own Valentino: The Last Emporer.

Recommended by Julien Planté A fascinating exploration of a fashion powerhouse. I was drawn into the documentary because of its subject, but its making is just brilliant: we see Raf Simons as an artist with vision, we get access to the behind-the-scenes with all the team behind the Haute Couture magic, Christian Dior’s ghost, the crescendo and the pressure accelerating until the premiere. A great show!
