Marion Cotillard for Dior
If you have been reading my blog for a while; you know I do not write about campaigns this often. I couldn’t help but be in awe with Marion Cortillard for Dior in Snapshot in LA. The styling of the video is simple, understated, and yet implacable and elegant.
Marion is depicted in a beautiful, minimal, glass house on the Californian country side with a stunning pool. She dances and defies gravity as she bounces off the water, it’s just amazing. Through singing, co-directing and writing, Marion Cotillard reveals a whole new facet of her personality (
