>> Marion Cotillard's new Lady Dior handbag ad has been reminding some of Erwin Blumenfeld's iconic series of photographs that appeared in May 1939 Vogue, featuring Lisa Fonssagrives swinging from the girders of the Eiffel Tower in a Lucien Lelong dress. The only problem is, Lisa was actually being photographed on the Eiffel, whereas Marion looks like she's been photoshopped in . . . with nothing to stand on. Since this ad is only the first in a series of four done by Peter Lindbergh, maybe the photographs — or the photoshopping — will get better as they progress. Further details about the next city Marion will appear in with her bag will be revealed on LadyDior.com, which goes live later this month.

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —It was only a matter of time before a French fashion house snapped up Marion Cotillard. Christian Dior has done just that, tapping the actress to become the face of their Lady Dior bag, which was introduced in 1995 and carried by Princess Diana. The campaign will be out later this year; Cotillard follows behind Lady Dior faces Monica Bellucci, Diane Kruger and Carla Bruni. [
