Rihanna New Face of Dior

RIHANNA has been confirmed as the newest face of Dior’s Secret Garden campaign – and she’s believed to be the first black star to be featured by the French luxury brand. 

Of late, the 27-year-old singer, has been much sought after muse for luxury brand houses and now will star in the Secret Garden’s fourth instalment just days after she was spotted shooting in a silver dress for the brand at the Palace of Versailles in Paris earlier this week. 

Rihanna has already been the face of Gucci, Emporio Armani and Balmain, but she now has another high-end name to add to her impressive fashion house list.

“The house of Dior is pleased to announce that the fourth episode of Secret Garden was filmed this week by Steven Klein in Versailles, guest starring Rihanna,” said Dior in a statement.

In the past, each instalment of the capsule campaign has been set at a royal chateau and unlike Dior’s main campaigns, it has starred models rather than celebrities (think Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Eva Herzigova) –until now. The fashion muse will star in a short film and print ad set to debut this spring.

This will be her first campaign for Dior and the casting choice is somewhat surprising because although she has sit on the front row of various Dior shows since Raf Simons took over, she doesn’t typically wear the brand on the red carpet – like Portman or Lawrence. Also, the pop star is thought to be the first black celebrity to appear on a Dior campaign in recent years, and certainly the first one under Simons,  the 70-year-old label’s current creative director. 

Simons recently came under fire for not casting black models in his shows, and it was not until his autumn 2013 collection when he casted six black models in the show.

John Galliano ties luxury labels in legal knots

John Galliano

GALLIANO turned up Friday 15/03/2013 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London to advise aspiring students. 

The college was quick to quash rumours that the former Christian Dior director, who was found guilty of an anti-Semitic tirade two years ago, would return to work there. "For several years, second-year students have been set a project on a theme set by John Galliano," a spokesperson said. "John Galliano does not have a teaching post at Central Saint Martins."

The designer is suing Dior for a reported £5.2m, alleging unfair dismissal. His lawyer, Chantal Giraud-van Gaver, argues that Galliano was an employee of LVMH and not merely a subcontractor, as Dior is arguing.

EVA HERZIGOVA - Czech supermodel, is the new face of Dior's luxury anti-ageing skincare line, Capture Totale range. Filling the shoes of Sharon Stone, who had been the face of Dior beauty since 2006, was never going to be easy. Enter Eva Herzigova.

Louboutin Tries To Stop Dior From Making Red-Soled Shoes

2nd fashion law suit begins! - This time Dior comes under fire as the legal fights continues......

Court papers filed on Tuesday show Louboutin got information from a private investigator who said Christian Dior was planning to launch a red-soled shoe collection next season. The PI was hired to find information on the YSL case, but instead found information about Dior. Louboutin will not press charges against Dior, and Dior denies the claims.

The case against YSL presses on, with remarks from both sides getting snippier by the second. YSL says:

“Louboutin’s trademark should have never been granted…We just don’t think that any fashion designer should be able to monopolize any color.”

While Louboutin’s team shot back and said the claim was “utter rubbish” and “unless you are living in a cave” the consumer recognizes a red sole as a Louboutin. But don’t worry, Louboutin doesn’t claim to own every red under the sun. Louboutin’s lawyer Harley Lewin said:

“We are not claiming to own every red under the sun. There’s a particular red that Christian uses on his shoes, a bright, lacquered red. We aren’t saying burgundy or orange-red, we aren’t saying pink. We don’t own any other red but that red.”

The case will be decided on Friday by New York judge Victor Marrero.
