PARIS COUTURE

Shortly after the Second World War, Parisian haute couture experienced an extraordinary revival epitomised by Dior's New Look, Givenchy's elegance, Chanel's style and Balenciaga's sophistication. It was a golden age, but it was also a swan song - the last blaze of glory of a world that had become an anachronism.

Through the intertwined careers of the great couturiers of the period and their eccentric, immensely rich customers, Paris Couture conjures up a world that has vanished forever - the world of the great couture houses, with its fancy dress balls and salons.

During those 25 years, the couturiers were able to give their imaginations a free rein, indulging in every possible extravagance, but the democratization of fashion, the advent of the leisure society and increasingly affordable air travel were to hasten the decline of haute couture.

SECRET WORLD OF HAUTE COUTURE, THE

Haute Couture is the Acropolis of fashion. It is majestic, impressive and somewhat in ruins - but it remains a symbol. Its biggest shortcoming is that not many people really know what Haute Couture is anymore, often confusing it with luxury Ready-to-Wear. So what exactly is Haute Couture?

"It is doxa, a guarantee of quality, a Parisian tradition, a fashion reserved for an elite, a price range, clients, couturiers (and no longer creators), and a media platform. In this documentary, I want to explain what Haute Couture is through the detailed filming of a week of Haute Couture fashion shows in Paris" explains Loic Prigent.

JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER AT WORK

What if we watched Jean Paul Gaultier at work giving the definitive master class on what constitutes the essence of his work?

Jean Paul Gaultier's work is making clothes, not putting on fashion shows, producing perfume, talking to the media or presenting programs on MTV. But making clothes. He sketches them, of course, but more importantly, he creates them by draping them, constructing them around the body of the fitting model.

12 of Jean Paul Gaultier's most iconic creations are re-created directly onto a fitting model, in front of the camera, in understated, white surroundings. 10 women's outfits and 2 men's outfits.

In Haute Couture, the "toile" is the first stage, carried out using untreated, beige linen, which enables appraisal of the style. Like a first draft, the moment during which everything can still be changed, before the creation takes on its final shape. Jean Paul Gaultier at work can be viewed as a sequence shot, in which the garments materialize before our eyes, revealing how his thought process develops between ideas and material. Gaultier's oeuvre, recounted by himself, in the first person - like a lasting legacy of creativity.

LEGACY OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, THE

In an attempt to understand a genius like Alexander McQueen, Loic Prigent retraces the breathtaking career of the English fashion designer, whose life was abruptly cut short by his suicide in February 2010. The doc explores his 3 last fashion shows and reveals the extraordinary creative process that went into them.

A year before he died, the highly controversial Alexander McQueen presented a collection that revisited all the codes of an oeuvre that began in the 1990s. Morbid and excessive, he ridiculed fashion, and would crush and throw everything out, in order to start all over again, better. Six months later, he presented what critics hailed as a visionary masterpiece: Plato's Atlantis. His previous collection had spoken of a planet invaded by waste; this new collection evoked an amphibian world, in which faces and bodies had mutated. From the cut of the clothes to the wild shoes, everything was new. Finally, on 18 January 2010, 3 weeks before he committed suicide, he put on his last fashion show The Bone Collector. With a catacomb backdrop, men were covered in shinbones, skulls and ropes. It was a premonitory show.

This enlightened and inspired documentary features remarkable images of McQueen's many fashion shows - dances of death and political commentary shot through with multiple references - as well as previously unseen archive footage, offering a fascinating insight into the designer's career and personality. His work is now collected, and celebrated in sell-out exhibitions. It provides the keys to understanding why he left us.

BALMAIN STYLE, THE

An air of mystery reigned at the end of the Balmain fashion show on September 28, 2011: nobody knew who was about to take a bow. No one in the room knew the new house designer. His name is Olivier Rousteing.

Ever since Yves Saint Laurent's mythical rise to the top of the Dior house at the age of 21, the world of fashion has delighted in young prodigies whose fine instincts and outstanding personalities promise to change the course of things. Olivier Rousteing belongs to this line of descent.

Paris has a new hero. But it's not an easy legacy to bear, especially in the mythical French house created in 1945 by Pierre Balmain. Is Olivier Rousteing disconnected from reality? How does he manage the stress before a fashion show? How does he build team spirit? How does he dream up and subsequently perfect his talents as a tailor?
