In Jean Paul Gaultier’s Animated World, a Moth Flies Into Fashion’s Bright Lights

As artistic director of an upcoming animated feature, Jean Paul Gaultier brings his touch to a tale of a moth who wants to break into fashion.

If a rat can become an acclaimed chef in Paris, as was the case in “Ratatouille,” can a moth break into the fashion industry?The untitled project was teased last week at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival along with sketches of some characters, one inspired by Spanish actress Rossy de Palma, and another dressed in Gaultier’s signature sailor stripes.

Couture seamstresses known as “petites mains” figure as characters, with insects cast as villains — the “moth busters” — according to press materials shared by Franco-Belgian studio nWave.

He brings “an unparalleled depth of visual and conceptual ideas, coupled with a cinematic approach to fashion that is both captivating and accessible,” Zeller added.that Gaultier, who retired from the runway in 2020, had been tapped for the film project. “Animation allows for boundless creativity, where the impossible can come to life,” he said. “I immediately connected with the script, which echoes my lifelong dedication to celebrating diverse forms of beauty.

The screenplay, by writers Emilie Frèche and Amanda Sthers, sees a young moth, an aspiring fashionista, escape her dreary life working in a provincial thrift store. “She is quite desperate because she only has dirty moths around her who eat old sweaters all day long,” Frèche explained. “One day a young stylist comes through the door, and she will leave with her and live incredible adventures in Paris.
