Dior's New J'adore Ad

Charlize is back! Well, so is Grace kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marylin Monroe...

Is this ad a Dior reboot, after the much bloated scandal from earlier this year? Did they pay someone something to feature the faces of the three screen mega-legends in their Jean-Jacques Annaud-directed ad?

However, the one-minute-and-a-half ad is impressive, it definitely feels like a celebration (I really like that they went with Beth Ditto for the soundtrack), and could Charlize Theron look any more gorgeous?

Scandal or no scandal, Dior seems to be floating above the flood.

David Lynch + Marion Cotillard = Lady Blue Shanghai

David Lynch was recently commissioned to create an ad for Dior. 

Lynch stated in the Financial Times:
"They called me up and said, ‘Would you like to make a short film for the internet? You can do anything you want, you just need to show the handbag, the Pearl Tower and some old Shanghai.'"

The result is the above 16-minute short film, (or long advertisement) which blatantly bears all the attributes of a David Lynch production.
