In 1950, Marlene Dietrich told Alfred Hitchcock that she had no interest in appearing in his film Stage Fright if he wouldn't provide costumes by a certain French fashion house. Actually, what she said was this: "No Dior, no Dietrich." Current Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson made her quote a linchpin of his cruise 2026 collection, which he showed this week in Los Angeles. Backstage, he told Bazaar that this is just the beginning of Dior's new push into the film industry. Hollywood seemed to be listening: There were so many stars in the audience that the scene rivaled Cannes.
