« For me, the film starts once you’ve left the cinema »
(Je veux que le film commence quand vous avez quitté la salle) »
- Jacques Tati

Fursac pays tribute to the work of Jacques Tati with a range destined to delight classic cinemaphiles, available in selected Fursac shops and on fursac.com from the 30 of March.

You know him well.
His raincoat and trousers are a little too short. He wears striped socks, a floppy bow tie, and a bucket hat tipped up at the back of his head.
He never parts with his umbrella, smokes a pipe, and stands slightly stooped, intrigued by the modern world bustling before his eyes.

Monsieur Hulot is a myth, created and embodied by Jacques Tati in the 1950s. He is also a silhouette—one that has entered the legend of cinema and everyday life alike. An endless source of inspiration, this silhouette is reinterpreted through the Fursac x Jacques Tati capsule collection.

Fursac x Jacques Tati is the result of an encounter between Gauthier Borsarello, Creative Director of Fursac from 2021 to 2025, and Louise Deschamps, Jacques Tati’s great-niece and director of his film catalogue. Through their conversations, Louise—alongside illustrator Philippe Dufour-Loriolle at the outset of the project—and Gauthier imagined how to translate this sense of whimsy and French charm into a wardrobe of knowing references to Playtime, Jour de Fête, Mon Oncle, and Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot, conceived for cinephiles and aesthetes alike.

« The fashion world allows us to pass on a slice of classic cinema to new generations. It would be unimaginable to think that such films, that have been restored over the years, could ever be forgotten. I was excited by the project from the get-go, because speaking to Gauthier, I saw he shared the same high standards, the same desire to connect with the everyday beauty of the world just as Jacques Tati did»
Louise Deschamps

« I was introduced to cinema through the movies of Jacques Tati and specifically Monsieur Hulot. As a child, I was fascinated by the character’s style and allure, as I still am to this day. I started tipping my bucket hat and studied his manerisms. I loved the fact that he would alter his trousers, cut into his trench coat, and embroider his socks. I was captivated by his way of transforming functionality into male elegance. These are the very principles I abide by when designing the Fursac wardrobe, and never more so than here. »
