French actress Marion Cotillard continues to star in Christian Dior's high-drama ads. This Spring, the chase continues, where Cotillard is caught with a secret agent, Shanghai Pearl Tower and WFC serving as the fantastical background. Steven Klein shot the scene, titled Lady Blue.Marion will follow the “Lady Blue” campaign photos with a twelve-minute film directed by David Lynch shot in Shanghai last December. The film will debut on May 15 at Ladydior.com. This is also the day John Galliano will show Dior's cruise collection in Shanghai.Galliano explains, “In the David Lynch film, Marion is reciting a poem that he wrote, and was inspired by the Pearl Tower itself. The words and building fuse in the picture he paints on-screen. Shanghai is such a vibrant and inspiring city.”

Just read about the interesting move from Hermes in China. This spring our favourite "orange" brand plans to launch a new brand especially for the Chinese market, which will be called Shang Xia. Shang Xia translates roughly as 'topsy-turvy' or 'upside down' and it’s the first time in Hermès' history that they have launched a luxury brand from grassroots level.

Shang Xia will include ready-to-wear and decorative arts inspired by Chinese culture and traditions of craftsmanship. These are to be made using Chinese raw materials and artisanal know-how.The objective of this move is to offer cheaper products, as well as capitalising on the growth of the luxury market in the country in 2010.
