MARION COTILLARD is designing her own handbag for Christian Dior. The French actress is creating her own "personal" take on the fashion house's recognisable Lady Dior bag, of which she is currently the face.
The 37-year-old has long been synonymous with the brand, rarely wearing any other designer on the red carpet, and the collaboration has been described as "completely natural" by the house. To give us an idea of what to expect, Dior released a behind-the-scenes film following Cotillard through the early stages of the design process - from sketching the shape to discussing fabrics, stitching and design influences.
"Actually, I'm torn between a rock and roll type or something extremely simple," she explains in the video. "I would still like to put a strong Dior symbol on it." The Oscar-winner also references her love of houndstooth and a photo she took of trees against the night sky in winter as creative inspiration - while suggesting finishes such as velvet, quilting and transparent Cannage stitching.
"She has been the face of the Lady Dior bag since 2008, the epitome of a sophisticated and vibrant woman," read a statement from Dior accompanying the video. "It was, of course, completely natural that Marion Cotillard would go on to design her own bag, her personal Lady Dior, as modern as it is timeless."
