The curious bullfighter’s cape with which Juliette Binoche collected the Donostia award is an archive look by Armani Privè | Fashion | S Fashion THE COUNTRY

Actress Juliette Binoche collected the Donostia award this Sunday at the 70th edition of the San Sebastian Film Festival. Isabel Coixet was in charge of presenting the award to the French woman who thanked her with tears and gestures of affection.

For the occasion, Binoche wore an archive look by Giorgio Armani Privè from the spring-summer 2009 season. It consisted of a pink and yellow satin cape, reminiscent of bullfighter’s capes, and elegant black trousers. The 58-year-old actress completed the look with a simple, center-parted ponytail and natural makeup. The garments chosen by the Frenchwoman are proof of the great fascination that Giorgio Armani has always had for the world of bullfighting. On several occasions, the designer has created light suits for the bullfighter Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez, who for years It was the masculine image of the brand. With his choice, Binoche wanted to wink at the Spanish bullfighting culture.

The actress dedicated the award to her children, agents and all the people who have allowed her to become one of the most internationally recognized actresses. But she also had a few words in her thank you speech for something that she assured was essential in her career: silence. “Silence is a presence. Before a shot, before interpreting, silence is strength, that strength from which I draw emotions, sensations, and it appears without any will. But without silence there are no words. Without silence there is no spirit, and when that silence is shared with a director, with an actress or actor, with a film crew, then a golden thread is woven and that later becomes a film. And there all the meaning of my dreams of wanting to be an actress is embodied in a living work, “she explained.

You have to know how to reject papers so as not to enter that system. We have to know how to go towards the new and work outside the macho codes », she assured.
