de Catherine Millet (Auteur), Jean Colonna (Auteur), Bettina Rheims (Photographies) How do women feel in haute couture? Héroïnes, Bettina Rheims' 2005 photo series o f 50 women sporting the newest Parisian haute couture creations provides answers that range from perplexing to provocative. As usual with Bettina Rheims, this is not about fashion photography. Rather, she allowed her models, by no means all professionals including, for example, Laetitia Casta and Milla Jovovich, to do what they wanted with the fine clothes along the lines o f the photographer's de-constructivist concept. Her highly aesthetic pictures subtly undermine a commercial as well as a voyeuristic, male view and reveal fascinatingly disconcerting insights into the world o f haute couture and those who wear it. Héroïnes was produced in collaboration with fashion designer Jean Colonna, who was responsible for the layout and design. The introduction was written by Catherine Millet, author o f The Sexual Life o f Catherine M. Relié: 160 pages Editeur : Schirmer/Mosel (15 avril 2007) Langue : Anglais
