Life

Caroline de Vivaise studied literature and philosophy before turning to costume design. She has been working as a costume designer for French film since the late 1970s. For the film drama The seduced man - L'Homme blessé from 1983, she first worked under the direction of Patrice Chéreau , which was followed by numerous other joint projects over the years. From 1986 to 1988 de Vivaise dressed Catherine Deneuve several times in her films, for example in André Téchiné's Scene of Crime (1986). For filmmaker Claude Berri , she designed the costumes of Uranus (1990), a film set in post-war France with Gérard Depardieu and Philippe Noiret .

For the mid-19th century film drama Germinal , also directed by Berri , de Vivaise received the first of three Césars in the Best Costumes category together with Moidele Bickel and Sylvie Gautrelet . Patrice Chéreau entrusted her in 1998 with the costume design of his award-winning film Who Loves Me Takes the Train . Thereupon de Vivaise was also used in Raúl Ruiz 's star-studded Proust film The Recovered Time , for which she was nominated for the César together with Gabriella Pescucci .

Further collaborations with Chéreau came about with the film Intimacy (2001), which was controversially discussed because of its revealing sex scenes, and the literary film adaptation Gabrielle - Love of my Life (2005) with Isabelle Huppert in the lead role. De Vivaise was also involved in theater and opera as a costume designer in productions by Chéreau, including a production of Chekhov's Platonov in 1987 , in Mozart's Così fan tutte in 2005 , in Aus einer Totenhaus in 2007 and in Richard Strauss ' Elektra in 2013 .

De Vivaise was also responsible for the costumes for the last two directorial works by Bertrand Tavernier , the period film The Princess of Montpensier (2010) and the political comedy Quai d'Orsay (2013).
