When asked about his favorite book, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld chose Raphael Mazzucco Collected Art
. This constitutes an interesting choice for several reasons: the book marks the first published work of the photographer and painter, the print run was limited to 1,000 copies, and the foreword is written by Carine Roitfeld (also known as his mom). Named "one of the top 50 photographers in the world to watch" by American Photo, Mazzucco is known primarily for his fashion photography for Victoria's Secret and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. He is a native of Vancouver, Canada.
