Get EmailsLady Dior mystery on twitter
Today, while trolling for luxury tidbits to share with my @luxurywriter followers on twitter, I noticed a new twitter account (started April 24th) named @Lady_Dior. It appears this is actually Dior the company, and they’ve come up with this intriguing adventure mystery that they are playing out on twitter.
Convinced that Dior is doing some kind of reveal on twitter, like any good journalist, I went looking for expert sources. First stop: my fellow bag lovers at the Purse Forum where I am counting on the Dior Divas to help me fill in the blanks. (I’m more of a LV Lady myself).
Lady_Dior has been posting photo links and dropping clues for us. It started on 4/24 with a link to a photo of French actress Marion Cotillard perched atop the Eiffel Tower with a stunning black Dior bag. A few days later, another photo–this one zoomed in to show her hugging her bag tightly while backed up to one of the tower’s steel beams. She has this scared look in her eyes. The next day, shots are heard on the Eiffel Tower.
The story contines with a post that tells us: “Christian Dior dressed Marlene Dietrich in Hitchcock’s “Stage Fright”. Lady Dior in a dark thriller is coming soon…”
And today, a new clue: “Remember this secret number: N°751B43.” Now, I don’t have any Dior bags, but I know that Louis Vuitton bags are numbered inside, and the number lets you know the date the bag was made, and often where the bag was made. So, here are my questions:
1) Are Dior bags numbered, and if so, what does the number mean?
2) Do you recognize the bag in the ad, and is it a new style or an existing one?
3) Do any of the other clues mean anything to you?
I do think this is Completely Fabulous marketing!
I love the whole adventure story theme, and I have seen other companies do something similar, but not on twitter. There was another French bag company that did a Web-based story in black and white video. I can’t remember who it was, so if you know please reply to this post. I searched Lamarthe and Longchamp but it doesn’t seem to be one of those. From what I recall it was a bag not often seen here in the US.
Anyone?
Tastes like money
I adore tasting menus, or degustation menus, as French chefs call them.
From the amuses-bouche to the petits fours, there’s nothing that comes close to sitting back and letting chefs send out whatever they please. Some of my fondest culinary memories revolve around tasting menus: Thomas Keller’s at The French Laundry, Charlie Trotter’s at his namesake Chicago townhouse, and long, long ago Andre Soltner’s at Letuce. We’re talking food so divine it makes me moan with delight.
So when Forbes published their World’s Most Expensive Tasting Menus recently I was all ears. Here’s who made the A-list. Prices per person.
