Book Description
From 2001 to 2011, Carine Roitfeld reigned over Vogue Paris, redefining the landscape of fashion magazines with her bold, subversive editorial vision. After stepping down as editor-in-chief, she continued to push boundaries by launching CR Fashion Book, a publication that carved out a daring new stage for creativity and experimentation. More than just a magazine, CR Fashion Book carries forward Roitfeld’s provocative aesthetic, expanding fashion into dynamic intersections with art, cinema, music, religion, consumer culture, and inclusivity.
This volume offers a comprehensive presentation of the enthralling universe of CR Fashion Book, imagined as a playground of contemporary fashion and creativity. It features fearless, striking, and at times poetic photography by leading image-makers such as Sebastian Faena, Mario Sorrenti, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and Petra Collins. The imagery captures both the dazzling faces of pop culture and the distinct identities of a new generation of icons: Lady Gaga as a punk bride, Beyoncé in a mysterious mask, Rihanna as Marie Antoinette, alongside appearances by Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, and Lily-Rose Depp, all brought to life through Roitfeld’s unmistakable lens.
Beyond imagery, the book also includes personal texts and anecdotes from Roitfeld herself, along with dialogues with her long-standing collaborators such as creative director Riccardo Tisci and supermodel Gigi Hadid. These writings and interviews offer a rare glimpse into the inspirations and creative processes behind the magazine, making this volume far more than a visual anthology—it is a deep exploration of aesthetics, culture, and imagination.
A definitive celebration of one of fashion’s most provocative platforms, CR Fashion Book is a major publication that blends fashion, art, and popular culture. It is an essential treasure for fashion enthusiasts, magazine collectors, and anyone captivated by design and beauty, transporting readers into Roitfeld’s unparalleled fashion universe.
