Paco Rabanne. Una vida fuera del patrón
“Are you a provocateur?” asks a voice off-camera. “Oh la la, oui!” We attempt to unravel the enigma of Rabanne: audacity, nonconformity, a passion for music, solitude, and a heart divided between Spain and France. A childhood without a father. Son of a Balenciaga seamstress. Family exile. Studies in Paris. A volcano of ideas. Impossible […]

Donyale Luna: Supermodel
One of the first black supermodels to appear in Vogue and in films by Fellini and Preminger, her career was as brief — she died at 33 — as it was spectacular. Growing up in 1950s Detroit with such a striking appearance must not have been easy for little Peggy Anne Freeman. So, she left […]
