Dior is running “Secret Garden – Versailles”, an advertising campaign introducing the Fall 2012 collection. In a deserted Versailles, as if plucked from a fantasy, Russian model Daria Strokous invites you to follow her on a wondrous path that winds through the Galerie des Glaces, through the palace’s endless interconnecting salons, as far as the grand tree-lined walks that sweep through the classic parkland à la française. Along the way she’s joined by fellow Argentinian model Melissa Stasiuk and Chinese model Xiao Wen Ju for a dreamlike fashion show where Versailles is transformed into Christian Dior’s secret garden, his emblematic château. D’or et Dior.

Oh my goodness, that was a pretty terrible execution. And what’s with the guy who just appears at the end?
