Cannes Film Festival 2023: Designer Ilona Matsour looks stunning in her own creations
From the "Martinez" hotel to the red carpet: Berlin-based founder and designer of MATSOUR'I Ilona Matsour gives L'Officiel Austria a closer look at her journey to the Cannes Film Festival.
The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. The glittering carpet on the Croisette, chic designer dresses, haute-couture suits and much more can be seen every year right here in France, on the Côte d'Azur. Year after year, film stars, art, fashion business representatives and many others flock to picturesque Cannes. Berlin-based designer Ilona Matsour was also invited to this year's Cannes Film Festival.
“I love attending the Cannes Film Festival. Fashion and cinema are closely intertwined. Some films went down in cinematic history only because of their costumes. Films not only reflect the fashion trends of their time, but also create them, inspiring millions of viewers to imitate their idols.
In fact, costume designers for film often draw inspiration from fashion designers, bringing images from the catwalks to life on the big screen. In turn, fashion designers get ideas from movie characters' attires, creating collections dedicated to specific movies or genres. And that's how the world of film and fashion affect each other. Admittedly, the Cannes Film Festival is a real parade of beautiful women in gorgeous dresses and this charming atmosphere greatly inspires me." confesses Ilona Matsour.
During the Cannes Film Festival, Ilona Matsour stayed at the Prestige Suite of the Hotel “Martinez”, whose history is inextricably linked with the famous Cannes Film Festival.
