Production

Filmed in 2012 in eight weeks, Dior and I is a behind the scene look at designer Raf Simons’ first Haute Couture collection for Dior. The documentary weaves together past and present through excerpts from founder Christian Dior’s autobiography read by poet Omar Berrada.

Tcheng discovered Christian Dior’s autobiography Dior by Dior while researching the film. Dior’s intimate writing inspired him to focus on the human experience of the creative process. “When I reread passages during the shoot, I often felt as though I was reading a description of exactly what I had witnessed that day.

The first time he actually met Simons, Tcheng was behind the camera, filming his arrival at Dior, where he meets the haute couture seamstresses for the first time. ‘It was tense, as Simons was initially against the idea [of being filmed],’ Tcheng says.

The atelier is the first place that Tcheng and his crew started filming. The film presents an ensemble cast with the premieres d’atelier Florence Chehet and Monique Bailly featured as much as Raf Simons.
