Rewind: MA LOUTE (Slack Bay)



Summer 1910. Several tourists have vanished while relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Channel Coast.Infamous inspectors Machin and Malfoy soon gather that the epicenter of these mysterious disappearances must be Slack Bay, a unique site where the Slack river and the sea join only at high tide. There lives a small community of fishermen and other oyster farmers. Among them evolves a curious family, the Bréfort, renowned ferrymen of the Slack Bay, lead by the father nick-named "The Eternal", who rules as best as he can on his prankster bunch of sons, especially the impetuous Ma Loute, aged 18. Towering high above the bay stands the Van Peteghems' mansion. Every summer, this bourgeois family - all degenerate and decadent from inbreeding - stagnates in the villa, not without mingling during their leisure hours of walking, sailing or bathing, with the ordinary local people, Ma Loute and the other Bréforts. Over the course of five days, as starts a peculiar love story between Ma Loute and the young and mischievous Billie Van Peteghem, confusion and mystification will descend on both families, shaking their convictions, foundations and way of life. DIRECTOR: Bruno Dumont, COSTUME DESIGN: ALEXANDRA CHARLES (https://goo.gl/xUxebr)

Rewind : BATES MOTEL



BATES MOTEL, the thrilling A&E series, it's an unlimited closet where we can find incredible fashion inspiration. Starring Freddy Highmore as young Norman Bates and actress Vera Farmiga as his beautiful mother, Norma, is set in the present day. But there are overtones of the classic dark style used in the famed 1960 Hitchcock thriller. Costume designer Monique Prudhomme (Juno, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) did a lot of research on film noir, the whole background of the black-and-white detective films to create a kind of timeless progression of Norma’s style, taken from the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60’s, a melting pot of all these periods. On the other side, the idea is that Norman is still dressed by his mother. He’s the all-American boy in his khakis, but there is always something very juvenile about him in the early episodes. He wants to be on his own, but he’s still a little boy. Second hand and thrift stores to find Norman's flannel, checked shirts, woolen sweaters, velvet trousers and dusty boots; vintage boutique to buy Norma's flowery dresses, small pattern shirts, pastel cardigans and trench coats.

REWIND: Inherent Vice



Mark Bridges (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Blow, The Italian Job, I Heart Huckabees, Fur ...) already has one Oscar on his mantel, for 2012 best picture winner The Artist. In his latest Oscar-nominated work, which also marks his seventh collaboration with director Paul Thomas Anderson, Bridges made 1970s Los Angeles garb look funky and chic. What about the 70s style? Clothes are interesting, colorful, and sexy but still a little naive. Crochet dresses, strong patterns, stripes and a touch of military style. Favourite outfits: Sloane's black swimsuit, so glamorous chic, Doc Sportello's brown leather sandal and Rudy's violet, velvet suit.
