It seems fashion designers have been enamored with the whimsical qualities of fairy tales since the dawn of the needle and thread, and that fascination shows no signs of stopping as made apparent by John Galliano. The creative genius behind Dior used Cinderella as his muse to market the lines latest fragrance, Midnight Poison.
"Today, John Galliano's vision brings forth a modern Cinderella," the company said. "A contemporary heroine who lives out her most spectacular desires. A spellbinding appearance, an unsetting, seductive woman who embodies femininity in its most creative form, eternally reinventing itself. When the clock strikes midnight, everything starts."
I never imagined I could meet Cinderella in the subway, nor could did I think she could be so beautiful, seductive and attractive. Enjoy these ads, and don't miss out on the magical videos on Dior's official site; they are eclectic and gorgeous. I can't even find a way to express it...
