Right now, the center of the film and fashion universe is in the south of France at the Cannes Film Festival, where just about every star imaginable is touting a film while wearing designer looks that capture worldwide attention.
Dior, arguably the premier French fashion house, is having a big red carpet presence at the 69th edition of the festival, with such stars as Jodie Foster and Kirsten Dunst showcasing looks at Cannes. Dior, which recently opened a lavish boutique in Houston's River Oaks District, also used the festival and its surrounding attention to celebrate the opening of a new three-level store in Cannes designed by architect Peter Marino.
Offering women's and men's leathergoods, timepiecs, jewelry, ready-to-wear and footwear collections, the Cannes boutique’s gray and white color scheme and neo-Louis XVI medallion-back chairs pay homage to the historic flagship store in Paris at 30 Avenue Montaigne.
