Marion Cottilard is Lady Dior In Shanghai
Oscar winning actress, Marion Cotillard, returns in her role as Lady Dior. This time, she escapes to Shanghai. The stunning ads, the one above called “lady blue”, were shot by Steven Klein. (She has already been, Lady Noir, for previous campaigns)
But that’s not all that Dior has in store for Lay Dior, and the rest of us. Director, David Lynch is jumping on the train, as well.
This campaign is the third in a four-chapter series; stay tuned for a 12-minute film directed by David Lynch, debuting on Ladydior.com May 15. This is also the day Galliano will show Dior’s cruise collection in Shanghai. It’s all coming together. 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.”[FS]
I can’t even imagine what Lynch will come up with. I’m sure it will involve either Chris Isaak or Roy Orbison playing in some cafe though.

Sneak Peek at Stella McCartney For Gap Kids
Stella McCartney for Gap Kids Season 2 preview on 5th Avenue, NY
Taking to her twitter account, designer Stella McCartney gave us all a sneak peek at her newest collaboration with the Gap. This is the second season that Stella McCartney has designed for Gap Kids.
Stella first started working with GAP Kids for the 2009 Fall Season.
Stella McCartney comments, “For years now I’ve wanted to create a collection for kids, it’s something I’ve often been asked about. I believe that this one off collaboration will be a great way for customers to be able to participate in the Stella McCartney brand. I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate. It’s really exciting for us to do a boys and girls collection for the first time.” [GapInc]

Vince Neil Starts Airline
Motley Crue lead singer, Vince Neil, has broken into the private airline racket. You heard me right! He seems to have taken his Motley Crue money and bought his own small fleet of airplanes.
Vince Neil Aviation is launching out of McCarran Airport’s Signature Terminal in Las Vegas. Robin Leach reports that Neil has a Hawker 700, a Lear 35 and a Gulfstream which all are tricked out with rock and roll-themed furnishings and painted flames on the fuselage.
The plan is to promote the jets for use on luxurious short hops in and out of Sin City. Vince will provide the pilots and flight attendants for the private charter trips. The new flight service plans to open soon and details on price aren’t available yet. [Luxist]
If ever there was a spokesman for Sin City it was Vince Neil. Would you ride on Vince Neil Aviation?

Liam Gallagher To Design Women’s Line
He may not be in Oasis anymore, but that’s not keeping Liam Gallagher down. He launched a men’s line of clothing last year, and now he’s announced that he will be adding womenswear to his collection.
“A lot of girls are asking if we will be doing a range for them and the answer to that is yes, once we have got rid of all the lads’ stuff,” Gallagher announced.[The Cut]
When he launched his men’s line “Pretty Green”, The Cut described it as “boring”. I wonder if it will continue to be just as boring with women’s clothes.
