ASVOFF cocktail in Cannes

At the heart of the FIF, the Mouton Cadet Wine Bar put fashion in the spotlight by offering a special evening at ASVOFF – A Shaded View On Fashion Film. Diane Pernet and David Herman, respectively founder and co-producer, invited their relatives to the roof of the Palais Cannois for a screening of the award-winning films at the latest edition of the Paris festival, chaired by Jean Paul Gaultier.

This selection also featured the film Dolls by Camille Vivier and Sanghon Kim (for Hans Boodt mannequins and ASVOFF), which has since been declined as an official clip of Nicolas Godin’s song’Elfe Man’ (from the album Counterpoint, Because Music).

The cocktail, still and always sunny, ended with notes by American pianist and composer Pete Drungle, whose career is littered with collaborations with mythical artists, from Ornette Coleman to Yoko Ono. A perfect alchemy with the frame of the MCWB oscillating between elegance of the French Riviera and American modernity under the scenographic impulse of the artist decorator Mathias Kiss (whose ASVOFF had also claimed its artistic proximity by inviting him for a masterclass last December).
