Haute-Couture is the pinnacle of high fashion and high luxury with astronomical prices. The theme of the show is cinema and iconic actresses and Jean-Paul Gaultier doesn’t disappoint with poignant appearances of Marylin Monroe and Greta Garbo. The head of workshop Mireille is everywhere, doing everything. The embroideresses are one the verge of exhaustion. Of course, absolutely nothing is ready, and short of a miracle, the fashion show won’t happen in time. It’s a sleepless night, nothing is ready, no model fits the incredible crocodile dress, nothing is ready, nothing is ready.

Nominated in 10 categories at the 2015 César Awards, this biopic that scorns the conventions of the genre offers a staging of grace and inspiration at every turn.
1967 – 1976. The meeting of one of the greatest fashion designers of all time with a free decade. Neither of them will emerge intact.
The life of Yves Saint Laurent, mostly between 1967 and 1976, his professional and emotional torments as well as his relationship with the dandy Jacques de Bascher and the one who will become his companion, Pierre Bergé. The film focuses on his working methods, as well as his encounter with his two muses, Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux.
Bonello summed up the film’s premise, “We weren’t interested in showing how Yves Saint Laurent became a genius. We wanted to show what it cost him every day to be who he was, and that’s why, at the beginning of the film, he is already a star.

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

Release Date: 2009
Duration: 1h58
The avant-garde show choreographed by Nijinsky causes a scandal. Igor Stravinsky’s work is misunderstood by a conservative and traditionalist public. Coco Chanel is totally captivated by Igor Stravinsky’s music, which leaves her partner and great love of the time, Boy Capel, unmoved.
It was not until seven years later that Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky crossed paths again. The illustrious couturier was just recovering from the death of Boy Capel when she decided to welcome Igor Stravinsky, exiled in Paris, and his family to her Bel Respiro residence in Garches. A short but intense affair between the two began. Chanel finances the revival of The Rite of Spring, for which she owns the score. Stravinsky’s work is then interpreted by the Ballets Russes. It is considered today as the manifesto of modern music that announces the violence of the wars to come.
During their affair, Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky each asserted themselves in their own creative fields. It was when she welcomed Igor Stravinsky that Coco Chanel imagined the recipe for her famous perfume, Chanel N°5. For his part, Igor Stravinsky was finally recognized by the critics and enjoyed success.
