Festival De Cannes

Once a year an array of glamorous guests gather to honor the years best offerings from the international film industry at the Festival De Cannes. Held from May 15th to 26th, this event captures the attention of audiences around the globe. The frocks, the picturesque backdrop, the prestige, the accolades, all centered around the inspirational work of a select few, brought to life by the big screen.

Cannes General Delegate, Thierry Frémaux, describes what the festival means to him: 

“Cannes belongs to each and every one of us who, year after year, from wherever we are and in our own individual way, contributes towards creating it step by step. It is only by constantly analyzing the Festival, adapting its function and encouraging debate about it that we will continue to make it the very best it can be. Cannes must be open to new ideas, while remaining faithful to its past, of course. Diversity can only enrich it. That´s what makes the Festival de Cannes our festival.”









Winning the highest honor this year, the Palme d'Or, was the French produced film by Tunisian Director Abdellatif Kechiche. The film, titled 'Blue Is The Warmest Colour', depicts a passionate lesbian relationship set in modern day France. Hugely relevant with the legalization of gay marriage recently. The leading ladies also shared the award for Best Actress. A huge honor.

Festival De Cannes also acts as a stage for the worlds best designers to show their pieces on the red carpet. Take a look at the fashions from this years festival...
