When Raf Simons took over as creative director at iconic fashion house Christian Dior, he had just eight weeks to create his first haute couture collection.

In April of 2012, the iconic Parisian fashion house Christian Dior made a huge announcement - a Belgian designer with no background in couture would be taking over as creative director.

When he took the helm, Raf Simons had just eight weeks to create his first haute couture collection. Simons himself knew it was no small feat.

That's the subject of a new documentary titled, "Dior and I."

The film's director Frederic Tcheng spoke with Take Two host Alex Cohen about why he wanted to give viewers a back-stage pass to Simons' stress-filled road to the runway.

"Dior and I" is playing in Los Angeles at the Landmark Nuart Theatre.
