La Vie à la D
Fan of Diane? You’ll fall for von Furstenberg’s new book with the artist Francois-Marie Banier entitled ‘Vive La Vie’. With some fifty black and white images and the usage of strong brushstrokes, smudges, and spatters, Banier has successfully created a work infused with the spirit and distinctiveness of the house of DVF. Banier photographed model Natalia Vodianova in Paris and New York, then applied bold color and writing to each photograph to create layers of complexity, both visual and emotional, for a compilation of exquisite images worthy of Diane’s discerning approval. It’s DVF…Decadent Visual Fodder. Vive la Vie, available at Barnes and Noble stores.
