France – Paris
The Cinémathèque Française is still the place to be for film lovers: directors, actors, artists and film buffs all gather at this legendary venue. For fans of fashion and cinema, the cinémathèque, in partnership with Chanel, is offering a fashion retrospective of twenty films that have left their mark on history. “Fasten your seatbelts!” as Nigel would say in The Devil Wears Prada.
.
You’ll discover the hustle and bustle of fashion houses in Jacques Becker’s Falbalas, the genial Coco Chanel in Anne Fontaine’s Coco avant Chanel, Bertrand Bonello’s Saint Laurent, Paul Thomas Anderson’s touching Phantom Thread and Fellini’s classic ROMA, as well as models in all their states in Prêt-à-porter.
You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the ruthless world of modelling in Nicolas Winding Refn’s The Neon Demon and Edgar Wight’s Last Night in Soho. Cinema has always been inspired by and interested in the world of fashion, a world full of surprises and creativity.
From August 31, come and discover 20 films on an inexhaustible subject of fascination.
Enjoy!
