Ondine

Christian Lacroix-clad Salome

There is a strange and enchanted light that emanates from Salome.

Despite the wished artificial snow breathed by the Fire Dragon [The Louvre] in the gardens of Tuileries
among the illusion of the dead leaves of Autumn
fallen from a truck coming from the Walloon city of Verviers,
it was very cold for Laetitia to only wear a shoulderless dress.

Who could resist in front of a gown designed by Christian Lacroix himself?

And even the snow could be as --hot-- as the Fire
(ask the Ondine's harmless executioner who became all red as snowman in the Jean Giraudoux's play Ondine).

If you scroll horizontally on the right, in the darkness you will discover the live stag above the calligraphy of Face.

Maybe Christian Lacroix has been inspired by the colors of the stags in the Napoleon III salon...

...or by the colors of the mythical bird Phoenix because of the resurrection of the bullfinch by Ondine.
It will be Jean-Pierre Leaud as Antoine who will try to warm up the bird in the snowy forest.

On November 6, 2008 the film director titled in his blog:

Christian Lacroix: Visage wears new clothes

克利斯瓊拉夸為《臉》穿新衣

Christian Lacroix is not only a fashion designer
he has also the title of museum curator
(he studied at the Ecole du Louvre)
he is also good at painting and interior design, Tsai Ming-Liang said.

Everything is derived from the lead role played by Laetitia Casta

Once Laetitia in the cast,
his Salomé's classical art image began to dramatically change,
Tsai Ming-Liang wanted Laetitia as fashion symbol in the Face's mood,
therefore the Tsai Ming-Liang's concept to invite
the most famous contemporary fashion designer Christian Lacroix
as costume design guidance for the film Visage.

克利斯瓊拉夸不僅是服裝設計，
更擁有博物館策展人的頭銜

也擅長繪畫與室內設計，蔡明亮表示

「一切都是源自於女主角蕾蒂莎卡斯塔」，

當女主角人選確定由歐洲首席名模蕾蒂莎擔綱之後，
他的莎樂美形象由原先的古典藝術開始急劇轉變，
蔡明亮希望將蕾蒂莎所象徵的時尚氛圍帶入臉
的概念之中，也因此，蔡明亮
力邀在法國當代最著名的服裝設計師克利斯瓊拉夸
擔任電影的服裝設計指導，為臉
.
