Les Recontres d’Arles: Photography Meets Haute Couture

25Jul08

Whimsical couture on display at Les Rencontres d'Arles


My fabulous friend, NY based designer, Marla Weinhoff, just returned from the photo show, Les Rencontres d’Arles, curated this year by world famous couturier, Arles native, and visual arts connoisseur Christian Lacroix.  She was kind enough to share her gorgeous photos with ArtsÉtoile readers and raved about the event, including exhibits of work by Paolo Roversi, Peter Lindbergh, Francoise Huguier, Ethan Levitas, and Richard Avedon (who Marla produced sets for).  In addition, there were lectures, documentaries and projections every night in the ancient amphitheatre.   I hope that I can attend next year, anything that fuses art, fashion, and France gets high marks from ArtsÉtoile.
