Description : Jean Paul Gaultier had been the king of Parisian ready-to-wear when he decided to launch a Haute-Couture line. 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.

    Director: Frédéric Tcheng

    Release Date: 2014

    Duration: 1h30

    Appointed artistic director of the house of Dior in April 2012, following the hasty departure of John Galliano, Belgian designer Raf Simons has only eight weeks to launch his first haute couture collection. The challenge turns out to be a collective adventure, full of humor and emotion, around the passion of a profession and in the service of the vision of an atypical designer, who shuns the spotlight. Far from the clichés inherent to a world where the catwalk and eccentricities often have the upper hand, Frédéric Tcheng’s attentive camera delivers an endearing and colorful portrait of the little hands and collaborators of one of the most legendary French fashion houses.

    Made in Italy 1951-2014

    Director: Jean Lauritano

    Studios: Arte France, Slow Production, Anele

    Release Date: 2015

    Duration: 0h53

    From the dolce vita of the 1950s to the globalization of the 2000s, a history of Italy told through its fashion. With the voice of Marisa Berenson.

    Always synonymous with elegance and quality, made in Italy has propelled Italian fashion into pop culture and revolutionized global fashion, inventing bling, supermodels and luxury as an art of living. Yet Italian fashion is a recent creation, born in the early 1950s from the will of a few industrialists encouraged by buyers in American stores, too dependent on Parisian fashion houses. Just out of the Second World War, the weakened country will use fashion to establish a mythical mixture of elegance, sophistication and good-natured vulgarity that will delight buyers around the world.

    “Dura vita”

    Exploring the intersecting stories of various designers including the Fontana sisters, Valentino, Nino Cerruti, Miuccia Prada (etc.), director Jean Lauritano paints a colorful portrait of post-war Italy. Rich in drama and scandal, the epic mixes Renaissance influences and pop culture against a backdrop of lightning rises and exacerbated competition, such as the mythical rivalry between Giorgio Armani and Gianni Versace. Between archival footage and exclusive interviews with fashion greats, a moving evocation of a world in perpetual reinvention.

    To tell Cartier is to cross the mirror of the futile to go towards the precious, from coquetry to provocation, from chic minimalism to excessive extravagance. Telling Cartier is also starting from a private story to speak sideways about more than 160 years of French history. The film will interweave the historical landmarks of the House, leave the museum, unearth archives, play on anachronism by telescoping eras; to revive these precious objects, and to open the chests; present them on the body and the skin, sensual support and final destination of a jewel. Gorgeous.
