Pierre Talamon is yet another young fashion designer and true movie fan. Born in 1965, at age twenty, parallel to his film studies he started looking for vintage clothes of the 50's and 60's for famous Richard Star's boutique, specialised in gear for Rock Stars. After obtaining a degree in literature and cinema he started out professionally as a film producer. At age 25 he switched from the screen to opening his own fashion boutique, near Saint Sulpice, and presented his first signed collection of colourful shirts in luxurious fabrics. Next he acquired a licence in Japan, and then came out with a full collection of menswear. Cinema, music and street life are his sources of inspiration. Colour is an important trait and takes its references from the films of Jacques Demis, or Godard, but also from the pastel tones of American musicals of the sixties. His suits are graphically tailored, short jackets, straight trousers, shirts, and knitwear ties that add a brush point of technicolor. Among his clients are actors Charles Berling, Antoine Boursellier, Hyppolite Girardot, Jean Paul Kaufmann and directors André Téchiné, and Ariel Wizman. Pierre Talamon has often lent clothes for films and plays, and distinctly remembers the day Marcello Mastroianni walked in his shop to buy a set of mauve shirts. After creating three collections for the international market, Pierre Talamon proposes a movie star style. His present summer collection was inspired by Senegalese materials and colours from his last trip to Africa; tie dyes, for casual wear, batik slacks, while patchwork or discreet stripes are added to the sides of colourful bermudas or pants. His tones are lagoon and sky blues, mauves oranges and pale greens and reds. His winter collection (2001-2002) is more daring with strong colours, and patterns, which take us back to the world of jazz and swinging London years.
