In Cat’s Eyesthe TF1 series, Constance Labbé, Camille Lou and Claire Romain are in sneakers and wearing jumpsuits that are not made of lycra. The reason!
This is a detail that may displease fans of the manga and cartoon. Signé Cat’s Eyes : Sylia (Constance Labbé), Tam (Camille Lou) and Alexia (Claire Romain), the three Cat’s Eyes of the TF1 series which begins broadcast this Monday, November 11, no longer wear the sexy lycra outfits and high-heeled shoes emblematic of the trio. They are now in sneakers and wearing much more practical overalls to get their hands on works of art that belonged to their father who disappeared in the mysterious fire at his art gallery, in the hope of understanding what happened to him .
Cat’s Eyes : “We wanted realistic, functional and modern outfits.” producers explain about the trio's outfits
“We used to say that the laws of gravity apply to our characters. From then on, it's impossible to put them in heels to run on the roofs!explain Medhi Sabbar and Benjamin Dupont-Julien, the producers. We wanted realistic, functional and modern outfits. There was a lot of work on the combinations in terms of design, material and texture. They were made in Valencia by the workshop that makes the costumes for Marvel films, but we looked for a material with them that was practical, while still offering a beautiful rendering to the image. In particular, we did a lot of testing with the lights. We also looked at length with the costume designer for shades that would reference the color codes of the manga's jumpsuits – navy blue for Tam, purple for Sylia and orange for Alexia – but which would still be discreet at night.
Cat’s Eyes : “The wetsuits were not designed for the cold or the rain.” confides Constance Labbé
Made to measure, these combinations were a nightmare for the trio of actresses. “They weren't designed for the cold or for the rain. We were a little cold and it wasn't really waterproof. It was a little difficult on the set,” admits Constance Labbé who is afraid of the fans' reaction. “There are fans who started saying it was annoying but we have Tsukasa Hōjō’s agreement [Le créateur des Cat’s Eyes, ndlr] and it is a free adaptation. Running across the rooftops of Paris in heels is complicated. We won't be able to match exactly what the fans imagined. I just hope that they will potentially be surprised by things, winks or the credits which are magnificent.
