I last mentioned director Jonas Åkerlund back on June 23rd in my post about his work for Dior that was titled, Oh-là-là with ten exclamation points! Perfect chemistry: Dior Addict + Dutch supermodel Daphné Groeneveld channeling Bardot + Saint Tropez + Jonas Åkerlund's vision = Magnifique!

Dior video: DIOR ADDICT Fragrance [Director's cut] AND DIOR CREATED ADDICT

Oh-là-là with ten exclamation points! Perfect chemistry: Dior Addict + Dutch supermodel Daphné Groeneveld channeling Bardot + Saint Tropez + Jonas Åkerlund's vision = Magnifique!

Oui, la chimie parfaite!  

And Jonas Åkerlund devising the idea of her as Brigette Bardot circa 1956, that's f-ing genius!

I'll have more news and nuggets before the end of October on some recent moves by H&M and what's going on with their long-delayed entry into the South Florida market, which was supposed to happen exactly one year ago on South Beach -and yet NADA!
