It’s definitely Dior – but it's not designs by Raf Simons or even John Galliano that are being celebrated in this fashionable short film starring Marion Cotillard.

It’s the original Monsieur Dior, after whom the house is named, whose designed the iconic clothes featured in the glorious mini documentary.

The film contains candid footage of Marion having her make-up done, of her travelling and going behind the scenes at Raf's recent flower-lined and also of her vamping it up in character as a Fifties Dior model, in original New Look designs by the man himself.

As the film concludes it's even narrated by Dior…Exactly what we needed on a grey Friday afternoon.
