Kenzo Takada, born on February 27, 1939, in Himeji, Japan, is one of the designers who most profoundly influenced Parisian fashion in the second half of the 20th century. Born into a large family, he developed a passion for his sisters' fashion magazines at a very young age, while initially studying foreign languages at Kobe University before abandoning everything for design. In 1958, he enrolled at the Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, which had just opened its doors to boys, where in 1961 he won the prestigious Soen Award and designed dozens of looks a month for a department store, already honing his sense of color and rhythm.

3.7Salut les Terriens! is a French talk show hosted by Thierry Ardisson, launched on Canal+ on November 4, 2006, and then moved to C8 on September 10, 2016.

8.7"Bains de minuit" (Midnight Baths) was a late-night talk show hosted by Thierry Ardisson on La Cinq in the late 1980s, filmed in the famous Parisian nightclub Les Bains Douches.

The concept was to immerse these personalities in the world of nightlife and festivities, far removed from traditional television studios. The interviews were often irreverent and direct, with a provocative tone that would become Ardisson's trademark. He considers this show one of his freest and most audacious creations. It helped solidify his image as a cosmopolitan, transgressive, and highly scripted late-night talk show host.
