Magazine Madness: ELLE, Natalie Portman, Bienvenue à Paris!

ELLE France 30 Janvier 2015

ELLE France, though is highly commercial tendency and printed 30% of the magazine by using phenolic papers, still, when the cover girl is Natalie Portman, for me, there is 0 resistance to collect.

Natalie Portman visits Paris for the Dior perfume short film shooting, ‘Miss Dior 2.0: Rebelle Pour Toi’, directed by Dutch Director Anton Corbijn. Corbijn is a Creative Director behind the music videos of Depeche Mode and U2, also he is the Director of ‘Control’ (2007), a film about British band Joy Division. Above all leads him an intriguing visual output. In 2015, Miss Dior, the floral love story, is under Mr. Corbijn’s control, with a great touch of spirit of female independence.
During the break time of ‘Miss Dior’ filming, Portman also takes the moment to have a quick interview and fashion campaign photographing for ELLE France. Photographer Mathieu Cesar, a 27 year-old Paris based fashion photographer, has been working with British Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar or AnOther Magazine, in ELLE France Janvier 2015, he captures Portman’s elegance but slightly mystic feels, echoing her role in short commercial film Miss Dior 2.0.

It is no doubt that I purchase ELLE France due to the cover girl Natalie (Je l'adore depuis Léon, and I think in Black Swan she is dangerously attractive! My French ability is good enough to read titles and personal info, but not advanced yet to read the full article). The background of Cesar’s shooting is dark blue, rough but contracting Portman’s pale skin and Miss Dior beaute, especially her Dior Rose Harpers lipstick. For the 8-page campaign, the styles of couture consist one little black dress and 2 off-white coiffure, but it’s a pure magic for me to re-flip the same images again and again.
