Dakota is in Paris! She attended the Valentino Fashion Show during Paris Fashion Week, and our gallery has been updated with images from the event.

Our gallery has finally been updated with screen captures from episodes 03, 04 and 05 of The Alienist! Have you guys been watching the show? I’m loving it! I plan on adding screen captures of episode 6 whenever I add episode 7, which airs tomorrow on TNT!

Miu Miu has released their short film #15, from the Women’s Tales series! It is called “The Apartment” and it was directed by Dakota, marking the first project she has ever taken part in as a director. You can watch the complete film below, as well as an interview in which she talks about the experience.

An apartment as a witness to someone’s personal history, the kind of universal space in which we all find ourselves as we evolve into adulthood. An apartment as protagonist of the latest chapter of Miu Miu Women’s Tales, directed by Dakota Fanning and starring Eve Hewson, Tom Sturridge & Christina Rouner.

Dakota has debuted as a director with her short film for Miu Miu, called “The Apartment”, and W Magazine published an article in which she talks about it and her relationship with the brand. It featured a new portrait session, which we have added to our gallery. You can read the article below, as well as on the magazine’s website.

It was nearly eight years ago that actress Dakota Fanning, then just 16 years old, attended her first fashion show, Miu Miu’s Spring 2011 collection during Paris Fashion Week. “I was so excited to be there. It was very surreal that I was getting to sit in the front row and I was in Paris,” she recalled. “At the dinner afterwards, Rihanna was there. I wore a pink leather dress that they made for me and a pink cardigan that I still have. I got to meet Mrs. Prada and have had this relationship with Miu Miu ever since.”

Now 23 and a fashion staple, Fanning is officially taking that relationship with Miu Miu to the next level, directing the latest installment of Women’s Tales, the brand’s ongoing short film series. Fanning’s 10-minute feature is called “The Apartment,” and officially premiered last night during London Fashion Week.

A few hours before the debut, Fanning was posted up in the brand’s towering store on New Bond Street in eager anticipation of the evening’s premiere. “I’ve known about Women’s Tales for awhile and I’ve been to the Venice Film Festival when they’ve premiered the films there for two different years,” she said.” It was said that if I wanted to do one and when I wanted to do one, there would sort of be a spot for me… The timing was right and I was very excited to do it with Miu Miu and the people I felt I had a real friendship with. I’m somebody who thrives on personal connection.”
