Dior and I brings the viewer inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house with a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Raf Simons' first haute couture collection as its new artistic director—a true labor of love created by a dedicated group of collaborators. Melding the everyday, pressure- filled components of fashion with mysterious echoes from the iconic brand's past, the film is also a colorful homage to the seamstresses who serve Simons' vision.

My first documentary experience from the fashion industry. It definitely deserves attention just because it shows how it actually works in one of the most prestigious haute couture houses in the world, when a new collection is being prepared and a new person is about to take the helm. During those ninety minutes, we are treated to the glitter of all those pretty and expensive dresses, the making of which is a lot of hard work, nerves and pressure. While watching, you might think that it is ONLY fashion, but this documentary is about the people for whom it was, is and always will be THE fashion. An excursion into a world that is not for everyone, and one that requires talent and sharp elbows.

Fashion films just don't resonate with me, so even this relatively well-made documentary didn't capture my interest. On one hand, you can see the artistry in creating the clothes, but on the other hand, I feel it's just snobbish and very superficial. But that's just heavily influenced by my personal perception.
