Adrien Giraux - ART DIRECTOR ASSISTANT & DESIGNER
Worked as assistant decorator in design and
drawing on the film “coco avant Chanel” by Anne
Fontaine, made in 2008. This film portrays Coco
Chanel’s childhood through her first moment of
Glory... Coco Chanel’s store embodies the modern
woman before the concept was invented. It is a
particular film d’époque, which had to adapt to
Chanel’s rigor and style. To do so, the film’s cast,
particularly for costumes and decoration, met
several times with Chanel. A dominant graphic
aspect in blacks and whites. A refined aesthetic
vision. Miniaturised image effects which bring
sensibility and authenticity while maintaining a
very contemporary approach.
