See inside Todd Hughes and P. David Ebersole's documentary 'House of Cardin.'
Documentary filmmakers P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes didn’t set out to make a film about their idol, Pierre Cardin — they just wanted to get a photo with him for Facebook. The directors were in Paris three years ago for the premiere of their film “Mansfield 66/77,” and had been tipped off that they might be able to meet Cardin by visiting his flagship boutique on Rue Saint-Honoré on a Tuesday morning, when he often does a walk-through of the store.
“As we were telling them who we were, I think a little ‘Lost in Translation’ happened, where they began to think we were documentary filmmakers asking whether or not we could make a film about Mr. Cardin,” Ebersole says. The directors met Cori Coppola during that same trip, who came onboard as their producer, as well as Jp Masclet, who offered the directors his Paris apartment while they were in town filming. Although the directors didn’t know many of the details of Cardin’s background at the outset, they were familiar with many of his imprints — the record label, the clothing, the hand he lent to the AMC Javelin design.
Adds Hughes, “Toward the end he sent us a little package of videos and one of them had footage of Andre Oliver, who was his great love, so that was really helpful.
