I LOVE this short film ‘Haut Vol’ directed by Louis de Caunes on NOWNESS. Dancers Leonore Baulac and Alistair Madin from the Paris Opera Ballet dance beautify above the city with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Louis de Caunes highlights the architecture of the Palais Garnier and the light and space of Paris. This makes me want to be in Paris now!!
This short film by Karl Lagerfeld for CHANEL, ‘Reincarnation’ celebrates the CHANEL jacket. Here Gabrielle Chanel is holidaying in the suburbs of Salzburg in 1954. She is inspired by a jacket the lift attendant is wearing. Later creating the iconic CHANEL jacket everyone knows today.

Here is the third Secret Garden video from Dior (the first and second). Once again, French fashion is displayed to perfection – chic, luxurious, and effortless. This time the story begins in the hallways of Versailles, moves to the gardens and ends in the orangerie. All enchanting environments and worthy of Dior couture. Enjoy some fashion, Versailles and Depeche Mode!
Chanel released this film directed by Karl Lagerfeld to celebrate Chanel’s return in 1953. After fifteen years of absence, she reopens her Haute Couture house. The collection was not initially welcomed by the French, although the American media supported the rebirth of her signature Chanel style. Enjoy!
This short clip by Dior is another beautiful display of French fashion at it’s best – balanced, chic, and effortless. The 2013 fall collection is brought to life at the Grand Trianon. The main purpose of the Grand Trianon was to provide an escape from daily court life at Versailles. King Louis XIV ordered reconstruction on the current palace in 1687, as the porcelain on the first palace was disintegrating. The structure we see here, is twice the size and made of beautiful pink marble. Just like Versailles, the Grand Trianon is surrounded by beautiful gardens and forests. Enjoy some beautiful architecture, Dior, and Depeche Mode!
This short clip by Dior is a brilliant display of fashion, history, architecture and aesthetic. French fashion is highlighted as being a perfectly balanced mix of chic minimalism and effortless luxury. The Hall of Mirrors in Versailles is (naturally) the most appropriate setting for this clip. When construction on the Hall of Mirrors began in 1678, mirrors were still considered a great luxury. The 17 arched mirrors are matched by 17 widows facing the Gardens, letting in the sunshine and breathtaking view. Enjoy a little bit of elegance and Depeche Mode!
