Fashion inspires screenwriters
Fashion will continue to inspire designers! A series or film about fashion or luxury often attracts the interest of the public and the media alike. We rememberYves Saint-Laurent (2014) with Pierre Niney and Gaspard Ulliel, or Anne Fontaine’s Coco avant Chanel (2009) with Audrey Tautou, both of which attracted a lot of attention. More recently, the documentary produced by Apple TV+, Les Supermodels, dedicated to the iconic supermodels of the 90s, also caused a sensation.
