DIOR AND ME

Appointed artistic director of the House of Dior in April 2012, following the hasty departure of John Galliano, Belgian designer Raf Simons has just eight weeks to launch his first haute couture collection. The challenge turns out to be a collective adventure, full of humor and emotion, around the passion of a profession and the vision of an atypical creator who shuns the spotlight. Far from the clichés inherent in a world where catwalks and eccentricities are often the order of the day, Frédéric Tcheng's attentive camera delivers an endearing, colorful portrait of the little hands and employees of one of France's most legendary fashion houses.
