We’re in New York for
Maria Grazia’s fashion show. We're in this cinema,
the Paris Theater, which was the first art
house cinema in New York, inaugurated by
Marlene Dietrich in 1948. I’ve always heard that she was an
extremely strong, powerful woman; more the subject
than the object of desire. She played roles
that were a little incandescent and unexpected, like in “The Blue Angel.” She exudes
a lot of mystery, with this mix of
feminine and masculine. I discovered New York
through films - Scorsese's films, of course, “Taxi Driver,”
“Kramer vs. Kramer.” I was lucky enough
to live in New York. It was a time in my life when I needed
that feeling of freedom, of being away from it all, and to immerse myself
in a certain kind of energy. I like the idea of
discovering each time what Maria Grazia
is going to do. She's always looking
for something new, but above all she's always looking
for meaning in what she does. I’m seeing it upside down, but it looks like
the Eiffel Tower to me, no? Am I wrong?
No, it's the Eiffel Tower. It could have been
the Statue of Liberty, but it's still Paris. I loved the first look
with the tights printed with big letters
and the leather coat. I loved the aviator jumpsuit. It's true, it was
very cinematic, all those dresses
that are a bit cabaret, when Marlene Dietrich
is on stage. I loved the music. I wanted to get out my... to identify some
of the great tracks. New York has
an energy like that, very strong!
