Dinner & A Movie : Masculin, Féminin + Salmon Cakes

Chantal Goya plays the character of Madeleine Zimmer, a budding pop star in the 1966 film Masculin, Féminin directed by Jean-Luc Godard. She becomes involved with a young idealist named Paul and begins a ménage à quatre with her roommates.

Madeleine’s wardrobe is minimal yet stylish featuring lightweight sweaters, a tailored jacket and peter pan collars. All topped off with her heart locket, striped scarf and that wonderful haircut.
