About this deal

There will never be another Fifth Element — and more amazing stories about the making of Luc Besson’s 1997 classic. Decked out in body-hugging neoprene outfits, these characters are charming, and only exist to serve.

They’re a far cry from the plain duds McDonald’s workers don today; the costumes echo Besson’s longterm love affair with red hair, and the McDonald’s colourway teams with the form-outlining shapes of the golden arches to show off the women’s figures. but with a molded ziggurat-like shape that brings to mind the red “energy domes” worn by the band Devo (Fig. The flame-tressed humanoid is tasked with saving the planet and has quite the wardrobe—all designed by Jean Paul Gaultier—to go along with it. With a designer like Gaultier at the helm, it is no wonder that the film was an inspiration for many design collections in the years following.The rubber is an effort by Gaultier to incorporate non-traditional materials and make the costumes futuristic. When making the dress, be sure the fabric is strong enough to support a little weight (I'll explain why later) and that you leave a large flare out at the base of the skirt with a narrow channel. Just as Korben Dallas’s costuming draws on Bruce Willis’s look in Die Hard, Ruby Rhod’s costuming draws on another familiar persona. It’s interesting to see that Gaultier was very much inspired by trends from the 60s through til the 90s, instead of trying to come up with what the future will look like.

While the correlation between Moschino’s 2014 collection and a science fiction film released more than a decade earlier may seem dubious at first (Gallagher), the creative director of Moschino, Jeremy Scott, has cited Jean Paul Gaultier as one of his primary influences (Widdicombe).With her passion for movies, television and entertainment, she's interviewed some great actors from Cress Williams of 'Black Lightning' to Tati Gabrielle from 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. or The Fifth Element, Gaultier drew from many of the same sources that inspire his collections, namely “bondage, punk rock, and lingerie” (Gallagher).

The second motif is that of more provocative and revealing street fashions for men and women, visible in Dallas’s tank top (Fig. Despite being one of the most famous parts of "The Fifth Element," it seems as if the bandage outfit proved to even be a bit too much for Jovovich, or at least for those working on set. While swarmed by fans unable to hear due to being deaf, audiences prominently see his all-white outfit.

Gaultier’s celebrity—and his style—grew from there, earning him the moniker “l’Enfant terrible” for his shocking designs (Dorozhkina).Luc Besson’s 1997 film The Fifth Element celebrates its 25th birthday this month, and its visuals and cinematography are still standing strong, injecting a colourful life into the gloomy dystopian future.

The Fifth Element is just one example of a film that could have fallen prey to its often “incoherent” and “problematic” plot, as cited by critics of the past and present (Pener; Child), but has been able to endure because of its immense visual impact.

Leeloo's bandage outfit is given to the character after her revival from a couple of surviving biological cells. However, it was and still is fiercely adored; it's exciting, a lot of fun, and revolutionised a genre that can so often be oppressively dire. Besson continued to work on the story as he became well-known in the French film scene with films like Subway (1985) and The Big Blue (1988). We do not accept partial payment by Cryptocurrency and a different form of payment in one transaction.

In an interview with Vogue for the film's 20th anniversary, Gaultier explained, “The costume for Leeloo was a bit of a last-minute creation, and funnily enough, it is the one that everyone remembers from that movie. Not only is the metallic baby blue color eye-dazzling but it always made you wonder if she was wearing anything at all. Gaultier’s most persistent film partnership has been with the director Pedro Almodóvar, for whom Gaultier designed the costumes for Kika (1993), Bad Education (2004), and The Skin I Live In (2011).
