The exhibition retraces the history of cinema through its most legendary costumes, in a journey imagined by the cinephile couturier Jean Paul Gaultier
The statuesque outfits of Marilyn Monroe, the little black dress of Audrey Hepburn, the masculine wardrobe of Marlene Dietrich, the bespoke tuxedo of James Bond, the leotard of Superman… these iconic pieces were designed by great couturiers. Jean Paul Gaultier himself strongly contributed to the history of the cinema by collaborating with some of the greatest directors. The costumes of The Bad Education by Pedro Almodovar, Closer to Heaven by Tonie Marshall in which he dresses Catherine Deneuve, The Fifth Element by Luc Besson are to his credit.
The CinéMode exhibition is accompanied by a programme commensurate with the event. Screenings of cult films, The Rocky Horror Picture Show by Jim Sharman and Falbalas by Jacques Becker, among the favourite films of Jean Paul Gaultier.
