Carine Roitfeld On Avenue Montaigne
mercredi 8 juillet 2009 
I have never seen a photograph as beautiful as this one by Monochrome Magazine of Carine Roitfeld strolling the Avenue Montaigne. She has such presence that her colored form seems to be alive in the midst of this monochromatic metropolis. Even though her back is to the camera, she appears to exist outside of the one dimension in which she is captured here. Phew, I will return to this image again and again for inspiration. And wait until you see who is playing footsy with Vladimir...

Hi, Kate! I believe it was taken using monochrome photography. Fascinating, isn't it? This is the first issue of the magazine and contributors include Christian Lacroix, Elie Saab, Garance Doré, Genevieve Jones, Jacques Shu, Kim Jones, Magnus Berger, Peter Som, Rad Hourani, Scott Schuman, The Cobra Snake, Tommy Ton and Trus'me among others.
Whoa!! I've got to get my my little hands on one of those mags--I've never seen that magazine before. Is it in the States?
And Kellina, BTW, thanks for the link!!!
