Hereafter are our latest collaborations.

The New Look

In The New Look, the male actors wear meticulously crafted costumes that reflect the fashion of post-World War II Paris, primarily the late 1940s and early 1950s. Suits are tailored with broad shoulders, narrow waists, and pleated trousers, mirroring the era’s emphasis on structure and elegance. Fabrics like wool and tweed dominate, often in muted tones such as navy, charcoal, and brown.

Accessories like pocket squares, slim ties, and fedoras complete the look, exuding refinement. Christian Dior himself is styled in formal, conservative attire, consistent with his real-life public image. Other characters wear period-accurate garments that evoke both austerity and emerging post-war optimism.

The overall styling captures the tension between tradition and innovation, characteristic of the fashion world at that time.

Bernadette

The costumes worn by the politicians in Bernadette effectively reflect the fashion and social norms of the 1980s in France. Tailored suits, wide lapels, and muted color palettes emphasize the era’s conservative yet refined political style. Men are typically dressed in dark, double-breasted suits with silk ties, evoking authority and tradition.

The use of vintage accessories, such as large glasses and leather briefcases, further anchors the characters in their historical context. Female politicians, though fewer, wear structured blazers and formal blouses, reflecting the limited but growing space for women in politics at the time. The attention to detail in the costumes helps to distinguish social ranks and political roles.

Overall, the wardrobe choices contribute to the film’s authenticity and immersion. Through these costumes, viewers are transported into the political atmosphere of late 20th-century France.

Carême

In the series Carême, the male actors’ costumes play a key role in anchoring the story in 19th-century France. The clothing is carefully selected to reflect both the era and the social status of each character. We see dark frock coats, embroidered waistcoats, ruffled shirts, and tied cravats, typical of early 19th-century men’s fashion.

Every detail, from the choice of buttons to the neatly styled hair, contributes to the historical authenticity. Finally, the contrast between the refined outfits of the upper class and the simpler, worn garments of modest characters highlights the social inequalities at the heart of the narrative.

Le Consentement

In Le Consentement, Jean-Paul Rouve portrays a prominent and manipulative writer, a man of influence and cultural stature. His costumes reflect his bourgeois and intellectual status, often comprising well-tailored blazers, classic shirts, and muted color palettes. These choices convey sophistication and control, aligning with his cultivated public image. Subtle luxury details, like fine fabrics or designer shoes, underscore his affluence without ostentation. His look is deliberately composed, projecting authority and charm.

The simplicity of his attire contrasts with the emotional complexity of his actions. As the story unfolds, his clothes remain unchanged, symbolizing his moral immobility. His wardrobe thus reinforces his dominance and detachment throughout the film.
