A year later the French Couturier created the whole collection of dresses to the movie “Belle de jour”, specifically for Deneuve. That time when mini skirts were in fashion, the designer was able to convince Deneuve trough filmmaker Luis Bunuel, not to wear too short skirts in the movie, because the movie doesn’t have to obey the fashion, it should be understandable to the viewer in any era.
