Mark your calendars: “The House”
(By Jeanne Le Borgne) Attention fashion and Greek tragedy fans, “La Maison” is shaping up to be the phenomenon of the new school year. Directed by Fabrice Gobert (“Les Revenants”) and Daniel Grou, aka Podz (“Lupin”), the series immerses us in the intimacy of two illustrious families that are as dysfunctional as they are powerful.
Their goal? To dominate the world of haute couture. On one side, the Ledu house forced to reinvent itself after a scandal involving its star designer, Vincent Ledu (Lambert Wilson). On the other, the luxury group Rovel and its ruthless director Diane Rovel (Carole Bouquet), ready to do anything to bring the Ledu house into its fold. And between the two, Perle Foster (Amira Casar), Vincent’s former muse, Paloma Castel (Zita Hanrot), young visionary stylist, Victor Ledu (Pierre Deladonchamps), Vincent Ledu’s son and Diane Rovel’s stepson, or Robinson Ledu (Antoine Reinartz), the “loser” son.
Between two low blows, the season gives viewers time to admire creations worthy of the great names in haute couture, but also breathtaking Parisian apartments and houses.
We were at the preview on Thursday and we’re taking you there:
The series will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 20, with two one-hour episodes on the first night, followed by a new episode every Friday through November 15.
The nostalgia moment with “In Vogue: The 90s”
(By Claire Stevens) Effervescent, volatile, scandalous, the 1990s are presented in six tableaux throughout this documentary series. Through the prism of fashion, “In Vogue: The 90s” looks back at a society in full mutation, caught between excess and economic debacle.
Summoned for the occasion, the elite of the time dissect the era and its turmoil, but above all its unparalleled creativity. Photographers, top models, filmmakers, politicians and fashion designers: the list of witnesses is impressive. Among them, the unshakeable Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the magazine “Vogue”, serves as mentor to this encyclopedic flashback. Remarkably documented, the whole thing has, thirty years after the events, the scent of a Proust madeleine.

They smoke all the time, they make calls in phone booths, they make sexist remarks… Michaël Youn presented the series “Flashback” at the La Rochelle Festival on Thursday, which takes us back to 1994.. The actor shares the lead role with Constance Gay. He is the father, she is the daughter. Everything sets them apart.
Elsa (Constance Gay), a scientific police officer in Lyon, is still deeply affected by the loss of her father Josselin (Michaël Youn) when she was a child. In April 2024, it has been 30 years since he was mysteriously murdered. The case has just been prescribed, she recovers his personal effects, including a watch. One evening, she finds herself propelled back thirty years, just a few months before her father was murdered. She finds him and teams up with him.
But the hero she had idealized is closer to the proud and narrow-minded redneck. With this series, Itinéraires production, to whom we owe “HPI”, skillfully mixes investigation and humor. To see it, we will have to wait a little longer.

But above all, to take you back to your childhood. « Cat’s Eyes, a cult cartoon from the 1980s, has been adapted into a series and will soon be broadcast on TF1.
Camille Lou, Claire Romain and Constance Labbé bring to life the three Chamade sisters, Tam, Alexia and Sylia respectively. In the first episode, we find them in Paris. The death of their father (Grégory Fitoussi), twelve years ago in the fire of his art gallery, torments them again. Was it not accidental? To lead the investigation, they will go so far as to climb the illuminated Eiffel Tower at night, a real guest star.
This quest for truth could well cost the three sisters dearly, or at least anger a devilish blonde (Elodie Fontan) who works for an equally terrifying art dealer (Gilbert Melki). In this three-star cast, we also find the rapper MB14, Mohamed Belkhir, aka Quentin Chapuis, eternal lover of Tam, Carole Bouquet as a protective friend of the siblings, Cyndi Bruna as a policewoman and rival…
