Dior Releases Secret Garden 2, Lensed by Inez & Vinoodh With Inspiration By Manet's 'The Luncheon On The Grass'

The fashion world is buzzing with the first look at stills from Dior’s new short film Secret Garden 2, lensed by Inez and Vinoodh in a return performance from last year’s enormously successful campaign that generated 24 million views on YouTube. Still images will appear in magazines such as Vogue China, Elle Italia and Vogues France and Korea.

In the followup campaign, the style action was shot in a forest on the grounds of the Château de Versailles
near a small château, The Petit Trianon. Daria Strokous returns from last year’s campaign.

One of the images is inspired by Manet’s famous painting ‘The Luncheon on the Grass,’ writes WWD. Instead of a naked woman, the picnickers are ladies are dressed in Raf Simons’ fall collection for Dior. The male influence is strong with a Dior tuxedo being key to the shot.I The wicker basket filled with fruit in the painting becomes a pile of Diorissimo handbags placed next to a basket of fruit.
