- I'm Avery Thompson, Hollywood Live.
00:01
Hi, Mr. Malkovich.
00:03
- Hi. - Thank you so much
00:03
for taking the time to chat with me.
00:06
- My pleasure.
00:08
- You know, tell me a little bit about the partnership
00:10
between Lucien and Christian Dior,
00:13
and what does that look like
00:14
over the course of this series?
00:17
- Well, Lucien Lilon was a gentleman
00:23
who had his own fashion house.
00:27
He wasn't in any way a kind of designer of note or anything,
00:32
but he had a pretty fine eye and nose for talent.
00:38
And among the people who worked at the Long studio
00:43
were Christian Dior, Givenchy, Balmain, Balenciaga,
00:49
Pierre Cardin, and on and on and on.
00:55
So he had a very good eye for talent.
00:57
And I think Dior, who was very, very gifted,
01:02
flourished under Lilon's guidance, I guess you would say.
01:09
I think Dior was someone very, very talented,
01:21
hyper sensitive, difficult,
01:26
probably most especially at that time,
01:31
because that was a time where homosexuals
01:34
couldn't live openly,
01:36
where it wasn't accepted by society, unfortunately.
01:43
And that was a real torture for many people
01:48
who couldn't live honestly and live openly,
01:56
at least as openly as any person can live,
02:00
which may not be so much, or so honestly.
02:06
But I think they were a good duo in that way,
02:11
because I think Lilon was able to manage
02:19
Dior's sensitivities and helped him
02:25
make beautiful work, kept him employed during the war.
02:30
Actually, Dior was in the military,
02:37
but kept him employed during the occupation
02:43
and was someone who had a great role to play
02:51
in keeping the French fashion business in France,
02:56
rather than having it transferred to Berlin,
03:00
which was one dream and goal of the Nazis.
03:05
So I think they were a pretty good pairing, I'd say.
03:10
- A duo.
03:12
Over the course of this project,
03:15
has this experience sort of made you look at fashion
03:18
or the artistry of it differently now?
03:20
- No, no, I always had great respect
03:24
for the work of fashion.
03:26
I did 24, 26 collections myself under different lines.
03:31
And it's a lot of work.
03:37
It's a very beautiful work.
03:41
The creative part of it, very compelling, very interesting.
03:49
Because not unlike cinema or theater
03:54
or some other forms I work in, it's only about details.
04:00
And that's something that always compels
04:05
and intrigues me, why this and not that?
04:15
And so I always had great respect for designers
04:20
and it was something I was always interested in.
04:25
- Well, thank you so much for your time
04:29
and congrats on the show. - My pleasure.
04:30
- It's absolutely stunning.
04:31
- Oh, thank you, thank you so much.
