La Vie en Rouje
A beautifully designed celebration of the iconic French fashion brand Rouje and its visionary founder Jeanne Damas In this glamorous, inspiring book, Jeanne Damas shares her vision for a timeless, free, sensuous, and proud femininity through the story her designs tell. As the designer of the ready-to-wear brand Rouje, she uses her very distinct visual language to create a book bursting with life. Life in Rouje gathers for the first time the iconic pictures of the Rouje ad campaigns, archival photographs never before published, as well as a backstage glimpse of the photo shoots and of the day-to-day life of Damas. The pages introduce the heroines who personify the designer's universe and lifestyle, including models and actresses of all generations and nationalities (such as Léa Seydoux, Isabelle Adjani, Maya Thurman-Hawke, Emma Corrin and Emmanuelle Béart), and the close circle of women in her life. Featuring scenes from Paris to the south of France, from Tangier to California, this book gathers all of Rouje's most iconic photographs together for the first time. Throughout, Damas's own handwritten notes, quotes, and collages punctuate the pages, like a modern, elegant scrapbook.

A Paris
It-girl au demi-million de followers, Jeanne Damas est considérée comme l’incarnation de La Parisienne. De Vogue à Marie-Claire en passant par Elle, et de New York à Paris en passant par l’Asie, les journalistes n’ont de cesse de l’interroger sur ce qui fait d’elle la nouvelle figure de la mythique Française. Ce à quoi elle répond qu’il y a autant de Parisiennes que de femmes vivant à Paris. C’est le point de départ de ce livre. Non pas essayer de décrypter pour la énième fois « La Parisienne », souvent aussi peu réelle qu’une légende peut l’être, mais faire le portrait de vingt d’entre elles, dont chacune incarne à sa manière l’élégance, la désinv...

Writer and film-maker Laura Mulvey is widely regarded as one of the most challenging and incisive contemporary cultural theorists, credited for incorporating film theory, psychoanalysis and feminism.
