1985
: Régine Chopinot and Jean Paul Gaultier created Le Défilé. The production quickly became a landmark in the history of dance and fashion. * Le Défilé * toured France and internationally for three years: Paris, Bordeaux, Montpellier, London, Brussels, Florence, Rimini, Milan, Madrid, then São Paulo, New York... The production drew 35,000 spectators over 31 performances. A true tour de force.

‍2027
With the same energy and freedom as in 1985, Régine and Jean Paul decided to create Le Défilé Chopinot Gaultier. Forty years later, they aim to share a piece of history—one that remains relevant today and is still atthe forefront—with everyone, everywhere.
‍You can help make this extraordinary project a reality by contributing to its funding.
‍Le Défilé Chopinot Gaultier features 61 costumes inspired by the original pieces. Tulle, knitwear, hats, high-heeled shoes, glasses, underwear, and more… Everything is crafted in the spirit of the 1985 production, while adapting to today’s constraints: we’ve chosen to prioritize upcycling andeco-friendly practices.
‍Le Défilé Chopinot Gaultier features a highly rhythmic choreography—full of leaps, glides, and song—brought to life by 12 brilliant performers.
‍Le Défilé Chopinot Gaultier involved over 250 hours of rehearsals for the performers and over 300 hours of work for Régine and her technical team.
It took over a week of studying the original costumes to create the patterns. Working on color schemes, silhouettes, fabrics, and accessories...
