CHÉRIE AMOR

Posted by Stephanie R. Jun 17, 2008

The lovely, talented Francophile Sofia Coppola will be exercising more of her director chops this fall when she shoots the new Dior Beauté Miss Dior Chérie fragrance, as reported in Fashion Week Daily on May 30. The award-winning Ms. Coppola is hardly new to directing — The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, to name a few, have made her the darling of the industry, so shooting a commercial for Dior should be a breeze. It has been leaked that she will shoot at Versailles in the style of Marie Antoinette. Does that mean pale faces, powdered wigs and lots of blood-red rouge stained lips?

Ahhh!! 'Marie Antoinette' is a movie I want to see but haven't yet a chance to do so. I had totally forgotten about it. I like the Victorian era, gothic-lolita styles.

Fashion wise, it is a very interesting time period historically speaking. The layering, the intricacies of design, the fabrics. What is more amazing is the timelessness of the white powdered wigs and faces with rouge lips, they are so today. Its time line correlates with Japanese Kabuki theatre, Geisha and Anime.

Correction, Anime in the sense of the makeup not the time period.
