The beauty world is waiting with bated breath (really!) for the full ad campaign featuring Kate Moss for Dior Addict lipstick, which launches in April. Video teasers were released about a month ago, and a full version, directed by Jonas Ackerlund, seems to have leaked. Either that or Dior didn’t tell anyone about it. The 30 second TV spot has quietly circulated over the past week, but this is the 90 second long version. Take a look:
It’s gorgeous. Kate has perfect blonde hair, cat’e eye makeup, and pink lips. And what is on her nails? We must know! And the soundtrack is Duran Duran. The most interesting part is the footage of Kate at the S/S 2010 Dior show. No Galliano in sight.
Now, there are a few issues here that bear discussion. WWD reported in this month’s Beauty Inc. that the inspiration for the lipstick–which is supposed to be fabulous, shiny, and a bit sheer–is John Galliano’s “bold, daring” collections. Moss is a long-time Galliano muse. Also, it’s called “Addict” for heaven’s sake. Moss, of course, has an addiction history; so, allegedly, does Galliano. Is it irony? Is it edgy? Is anyone going to care? Is Dior? Will it even be addressed? Probably not. The images are gorgeous and we hear the product is, too.

This is a pretty faboosh commercial. I enjoy seeing Ms. Moss do her thing and as much as I hate to admit: I can’t even diss this even if it’s based on something from John.

Looks great!
It’s that 80′s “Girls on Film” Duran Duran, flashing cameras papparazi vibe all over again. Kate Moss amidst trashed but super-luxe mess in glamourous hotel room. Addiction is so chic!
Fab spot. No surprise there that Galliano is MIA.
