Isabelle Huppert: A Woman of Many Faces

Isabelle Huppert stands out among actresses due to her audacious choices of roles, both for films as well as for the theater. Her intelligence and intuition are evident in the parts she plays. Her renown as an actress is not limited to the French cinema but embraces Europe and the rest of the world. This most mysterious of actresses likes to be photographed but she is not an easy subject. She offers herself to the eye of the camera yet remains secretive, almost absent. The great photographers of our time—Richard Avedon, Edouard Boubat, Guy Bourdin, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliot Erwitt, Lartigues, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Sylvia Plachy, Marc Riboud, and Scavullo—took up the challenge. Huppert’s energy and strength are often shrouded behind a kind of melancholy, and these photographers have captured beautifully that contradictory quality. Not only a collection of gorgeous images, this haunting book also unveils the bond between the public image and the secret soul of this unique woman.

Carine Roitfeld - The Book

Carine Roitfeld is an indisputable fashion icon and belongs to the most influential people in the business. Out from the Vogue does not mean out of the fashion world. Even Barneys in New York celebrated lately Carine Roitfeld’s one-of-a-kind style. After 10 years at French Vogue, Roitfeld is not getting bored and has never had so many projects coming up : another book with Karl Lagerfeld, a collaboration with Terry Richardson and maybe a cosmetics or a clothes line.
