American actress Mila Kunis has been named as the new face for the Spring Summer 2012 campaign of luxury brand Christian Dior.

Kunis is the latest in a long line of movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly, to be associated with Dior.

The 28-year-old actress is thrilled with her appointment, although admits her day-to-day style doesn’t always match the luxurious Dior aesthetic.

Industry sources say Christian Dior is finalizing a contract for Belgian designer Raf Simons to become creative director.

The French fashion house dismissed former head designer John Galliano back in March following his arrest at a Paris bar for racist and anti-Semitic behavior.

Although Dior’s design studio has continued to produce couture collections headed by Bill Gaytten, no replacement for Galliano has yet been revealed.

Christian Dior have launched a one-off accessories line in collaboration with conceptual German artist Anselm Reyle.

Reyle has been given carte blanche to create a collection of accessories utilising his use of colour and texture.

The collection will include everything from wallets and clutches up to full sized handbags and shopper totes.

Following recent machine-inspired videos by Chanel and Dior, the latter has released yet another creative ad, this time for its Mise en Dior necklace.

Christian Dior’s creative director of accessories, Camille Miceli, was the visionary behind the film named after the first necklace she created.

Shot from the perspective of one of its pearls, the pinball-inspired film follows its journey along the steps of the creation of the necklace, with every completed detail being ‘rewarded’ with an iconic Dior piece, such as the Lady Dior bag.
