Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Palais Galliera (16 March – 14 July 2024), this book offers an in-depth look at the work of Italian photographer Paolo Roversi, a key figure in French fashion photography over the past four decades. Since arriving in Paris in 1973, Roversi has established a distinctive style, defined by his use of a studio, a large-format camera and a Polaroid to create images full of mystery and timeless beauty. His work—shaped by collaborations with designers such as Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, Romeo Gigli and Dior—combines artistic integrity with a constant drive to reinvent himself. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist himself, this volume offers a vital record of the career and legacy of one of the great contemporary masters of fashion photography.
