In 2022, the avant-garde platform Farfetch , an essential reference for online luxury, surprised by unveiling an immersive documentary dedicated to one of the most influential designers of his generation: Olivier Rousteing . Entitled The World of Olivier Rousteing , this film offers a rare dive into the world of the artistic director of Balmain , revealing the behind-the-scenes of his creative process and his avant-garde vision of fashion.
What makes this project unique is the encounter between fashion and technology , driven by an unprecedented collaboration between Olivier Rousteing and director Victor Bastidas , a rising figure in art documentaries. Together, they push the boundaries of reality, offering an innovative visual approach where haute couture flirts with the digital world.
One of the most striking elements of the film is the presence of an intriguing and symbolic 3D character : the “Kid Cup” .
