Dior have just unveiled the fourth chapter in the Secret Garden saga, a film by Stephen Klein, starring Rihanna. Shot, by night, at Château de Versailles, the 27-year-old singer wanders through the venue’s cinematic mirrored halls wearing couture from the Esprit Dior Tokyo collection, Tribale earrings and holding a Diorama bag. The main soundtrack for the vignette, Only if for a Night, is taken from Rihanna’s upcoming album.
In spring 2012 the house of Dior presented the first Secret Garden film, shot again at Versailles but by Dutch fashion designer duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Model Daria Strokous appeared wearing the label’s pre-autumn 2012 collection and the montage generated more than 25 million views on YouTube. The following year, the same team returned to make Dior’s Secret Garden II, this time featuring the rustic retreat called the Queen’s Hamlet, built for Marie-Antoinette within the grounds of Versailles. The third chapter in the series was completed last year with Dior’s couture showcased against the backdrop of Versailles’s many salons, private apartments and secret passageways.
