About the film



Documenting the intimate in sartorial art:

A mistress tailor films herself in the creative production of a three-piece suit :

sketch, pattern, fabric, shaping, assembly, fitting, finalization - hundreds of (wo)man-hours, a story, a film... and an allegory.

Homage as essence



Art sartorial



Art Sartorial is maybe a forgotten or unknown term, but corresponds to the art of the Master Tailor. And this film wants to show in detail the knowledge and practice thus of the technique of this art.

Grand Couture



A avant-garde documentary that was fallen right in the middle of the Fashion Week, while the press attaches are boosting their crazy fashion designer on social networks and while the fashion bloggers and the hippest people in the world Planet rush at the foot of the catwalk.

L'architecte textile a perfect counterpoint, the precise work of a watchmaker in the space of the textile architect, who with his skillful hands structures and builds the garment that will sublimate the body by drawing clean lines, and, for the beauty of the gesture, sneak by the tip of the needle the pleats flying away at the slightest movement ...

A masterpiece of precision micro mechanics ... the Art of the Grand Couture.[https://architecte-textile-fashionweekparis.blogspot.fr/ 'L'architecte textile Fashion Week']

Production



The original idea was to realize a school film for fashion students so that traditional couture survives and we do not forget the technique of sartorial art, which is disappearing. [https://eval.ensad.fr/catalog/index.phpannee=3§eur=Design+V%C3%AAtement cole nationale suprieure des arts dcoratifs]

The first provisional version of the film is 10 hours long. Finally, a 100-minute cinema film has been created to give "non-professionals" the opportunity to experience this exclusive and increasingly rare profession. The film has a very avant-garde structure because of the type of camera work, the sound design and the editing of the film, so the film genre is difficult to reclassify. A mix of documentary, experimental film, feature film, cultural film and educational film.

A longer version of at least six hours is currently in post-production, which will be presented in museums and galleries in 2022.[https://art9teen.eu/de/ausstellungen/ 'L'architecte textile'] Vienne

Psychology of the film



The film begins and ends with quotations from Albert Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus':

" The struggle itself to the heights is enough to fill the heart of a man. One must imagine Sisyphus happy ".

" At the far end of this sustained effort measured by space without sky and depthless time, the goal is reached ".

('The Myth of Sisyphus', Albert Camus, Gallimard, 1942)
