Magnifique

I recently received the latest ad campaign from Barneys New York (my favorite major retailer ever) featuring the estimable Carine Roitfeld and her styling of top models, friends and muses, all photographed by Mario Sorrenti.  It is extraordinary.  "Mais oui!" was my first thought - of course where does the French Vogue editrix land after leaving her post? Barneys!  A perfect coupling. 

The images don't appear to be online; I've scanned a few for your perusal (Barneys please don't sue).  The detail, styling and vision are inspiring indeed.  I have put on my must-have book list her new offering, Irreverant, published by Rizzoli.  Available at Barneys and Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Carine-Roitfeld-Irreverent/dp/0847833682/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317157606&sr=1-1.

A bientot.
