Ho Chi Minh City to host French fashion film festival
VOV.VN - The Institute of Cultural Exchange with France (IDECAF) in Ho Chi Minh City will hold a French fashion film festival from December 5 to 7, featuring numerous documentaries about the fashion industry.
“Jean Paul Gaultier” directed by Prigent Loïc has been selected to kick-start the festival as a curtain raiser.
Jean Paul Gaultier presented his last fashion show in January, 2020, and now comes back with a new documentary directed by Loïc Prigent. The French filmmaker who collaborated with the designer for his film “Jean Paul Gaultier travaille” in 2015, brings viewers backstage to his last and most spectacular show, with a 52 minute run time set at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
Other documentaries - “Isabel Marant: Naissance d’une collection” by Miceli Dominique, “Cartier la petite boite rouge” by Azoulai Minou and Brand Marie, and “La ligne Balmain” by Prigent Loïc will be screened before “Qui etes-vous polly maggoo?” directed Klein William will then close the event on December 7.
The festival is part of the 2023 Season 2 programme themed “Fashion and Design” that has been held from September to the end of the year. It features many outstanding activities such as fashion and design seminars, high-fashion nights, fashion film festivals, and the Fashion in Paris competition.
This event is among a series of activities getting underway to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between France and Vietnam.
