Lady Dior: Lady Grey London
In what some would consider to be cinematic excellence , director John Cameron Mitchell orchestrates an eight-minute short film for Christian Dior's Lady Dior during which French actress Marion Cotillard offers inspiration to a wheelchair bound Sir Ian McKellen and an artistically stifled painter, Russell Tovey. It's quite touching actually.
The film, called Lady Grey London, has Cotillard performing in front of a spellbound audience and driving men mad with desire. She invites one of her onlookers , a wheelchair-bound Sir Ian McKellen , to her dressing room where she works magic on his legs. And then but I don't want to spoil the end .

Lately I feel advertisers have made a concerted effort to blur the lines between advertising and film. The medium is the message. In this case the medium is film, or, to be more precise, the 'filmatorial'.
However, having said all that and after putting a lid on the cynic in me, I must say it is beautifully done from a cinematic perspective. It is also a tribute to great direction and writing as it relays a message in a matter of few minutes, without sacrificing the style factor or overshadow the brand by the celebrity . Isn’t that what fashion is all about?
