BOOKLET #9 : "French Connection" - preview with Taki Bibelas

French Connection. Everyone has one. A picture of France. Be it Catherine Deneuve or Jeanne Moreau, Champagne or Coq au vin, Cannes, Le Havre, Paris, Coco Chanel or Azzedine Alaia, the Lumière brothers, Henri Cartier Bresson, Pierre & Gilles; Charles de Gaulle or Mitterand. La Grande Nation. This picture can be subject to fluctuations. In regards to geographical distance, nationality, one’s own age, social status and many more factors, France is a subject, a goal, a wish, a controversial issue.

We have attached a tempting slither of the BOOKLET #9 gateau, which is our vision of France. From the first street artist, to Sarah Moon the queen of photographic blur, to celebrated French actress Elodie Bouchez to American Veronica Webb, who was both Alaia’s muse and the first paid black model in France. This is juxtaposed with our meeting with German star Benno Führmann, as well as many, many more. We hope that our secret garden will prove a hypnotic escape for you. 

The new issue will be out on 11.11. Those that belong to the enlightened circle of BOOKLET subscribers, will have their dose of BOOKLET glossy cascading through the letterbox any day soon. An annual BOOKLET subscription, for two magazine issues, can be procured for an unbeatable 10 EURO, (excluding p&p).
