Parisian Chic: a Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange

Written by Ines de la Fressange and Sophie Gachet, Parisian Chic is a delightful book to have. After years of being the inspiration and Paris resource go-to girl for her many friends and fashion colleagues, Ines de la Fressange decided to put her fashion philosophy and favorite haunts in this great little book.

The eternally beautiful icon of French style shares the well-kept secrets on how Parisian women maintain effortless glamour and a timeless allure, with specific pointers on how to dress like a Parisian, including how to mix affordable basics with high-fashion touches, and how to accessorize.

Ines's smart and funny do's and don'ts are accompanied by her own charming drawings, and fashion photography featuring her daughter Nine D'Urso who clearly has not only the perfect jeans but also the perfect genes!
In addition to fashion, Ines also shares tips for how to bring Parisian chic into your home, and her favorite shops and resources for all things chic in her home town. In short, this adorable book is a must-have for any woman who wants to add a touch of Parisian flair to her own style.

As gorgeous and gamine today, at 53, as when she first hit the runway over thirty years ago, Ines de la Fressange - the former Chanel Muse - has long been the essence of Parisian style and elegance. Her drawings have regularly appeared in Elle and she is a brand identity consultant for Roger Vivier. Sophie Gachet is a fashion journalist for French Elle.

" Listen " by Mark Seliger

If you had to pick the most memorable Rolling Stone cover, chances are, it would be a Seliger. The iconic Red Hot Chili Peppers line-up, the haunting portrait of Kurt Cobain, the legendary Jennifer Aniston shot and recently the notorious Kim Kardashian nude on the cover of W are images that define eras.
Listen features Mark Seliger's private collection, a personal series of photographs that include landscapes, still lifes, nudes, and of course portraits that complete a picture of one of today's most sough after photographers. Seliger deftly conveys the passage of time as well as the beauty of the moment, with his mastery of light and shadow in images.
Mark Seliger is an American photographer who served as chief of photographer for Rolling Stone from 1992 to 2002. He now works for several publications, including GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair.
Mark Seliger will be at Clic Gallery, New York for the launch of his newest book LISTEN on February 17, 2011.

Mika Ninagawa

Born in Tokyo in 1972, Mika Ninagawa has won numerous prizes for her photography. Her work is distinguished by a gorgeously saturated colors and stylized compositions. Lauded as an art and fashion photographer, Mika Ninagawa has become a cultural superstar in Japan since her debut only a decade ago. Her images are constantly exhibited in Japan and abroad and much loved by art collectors. Her latest book published by Rizzoli New York, features portraits of international personalities, among them Cameron Diaz, Dita von Teese, Chiaki Kuriyama, and elaborate, fantasy-infused landscapes and still-life images.
Ninagawa's photos are associated with "Pop" and "colorful motifs" like goldfish and flowers. Her distinctive colors are clearly inscribed in all her works, though her many motifs vary from flowers, goldfish, and landscapes to little girls.
