The “latest” began subtly. In late 2024, Bouvet appeared at the Cannes Film Festival not as himself, but as a version of himself.

This is the essence of the latest iteration of Cadault: a rejection of the corporate sanitization of fashion. In a world where Balenciaga sells $1,000 trash bags ironically, Cadault offers sincerity. He means the rage. He means the tears. And Bouvet, at 70 years old, performs that sincerity with the physical commitment of a stuntman.
