Dior's New Look

The inspiration for Christian Dior’s new line, D’Trick, is glamorous actress Marlene Dietrich. With Dietrich and Dior in mind, scores of celebrities and fashionistas turned out to celebrate the line’s debut at The Argyle Hotel’s Fenix restaurant on June 2. Entertainers Whitney Houston and Kelly Osbourne dressed in the new line. Actresses Mischa Barton and Ashanti dressed in Dior. D’Trick, which will be sold in Dior boutiques and selected department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, features a sexy clash of gray flannel, lustrous satin and daring bikini tops. Marla Sabo, president of Christian Dior USA, said the new line reflects Dietrich’s free spirit. “She was a strong personality, very stylish,” Sabo said. “That’s part of what we’re about. We don’t dictate or impose a head to toe look for anyone.” —Andrew Asch
