When security guards at Cannes spotted his moccasins, they blocked producer Kelvin Redvers from the red carpet and asked him to leave. While Cannes is meant to have flexibility for cultural outfits such as saris and kilts, protestations fell on deaf ears.
Originally from the Northwest Territories, Redvers was in the festival’s requisite red-carpet attire of black tie but had swapped out the skate shoes he walked to the Palais des Festivals in for a pair of brown moccasins.
“A fairly aggressive security guard got fed up, got right in my face and said, ‘You need to leave now. Leave now. Leave now. Leave now. Leave!’” says Redvers. “I was very confused and hurt; I felt belittled. I was being treated like a criminal for just trying to wear my formal traditional wear.”Cannes has had a long history of red carpet controversy, and in the past turned away women wearing flat shoes instead of high heels.
“One of the problems is I was only wearing one piece of my formal wear,” says Redvers. “If I’d been wearing the full regalia, they would have put me through, which is interesting because it really limits formal wear into a preconceived idea — and a Western idea — of what formal wear should be.”
