BANIER ART PROJECT
February 1st, 2008
I have known François-Marie Banier for more than 30 years and have admired him as a writer, a photographer, and a painter. Last fall I went to Berlin and saw his show called “Written Photographs”. I was blown away.
Time had come for me to create an image for the brand… I hired David Lipman to work on this with me. I introduced the concept of FMB. They met and were excited to do this for me.
I love the emotion of black and white photographs, but DVF is all about color… he would take the photos, write and paint on them.
Then came Natalia, her beauty, inside and out… her strength, her dignity… she was flattered to be asked… the adventure began….
In Paris, in NY… no make up, no hairstyling… just a beautiful strong woman and an artist…
