Emmanuelle Alt

Emmanuelle Alt, whom i have already mentioned with her work with her Husband Franck Durand, is a force in her own right with her roster of Clients including Isabel Marant, Balmain, Gucci, Chanel and Giuseppe Zanotti to name but afew, she started her journey in Fashion at Elle France at the tender age of 17 and went on to work with Mixte where she was Fashion Director and then onto 20 Ans where she became Editor In Chief in 1993, in 2001 Carine Roitfeld then chose her to join her on the new team of Vogue Paris and was employed as Fashion Director and there she stayed until Roitfeld handed in her notice and was then front runner to be the successor of Roitfeld and was then indeed promoted to front and continue on the success of the French publication. 

Within Emmanuelles career she has built upon her natural sense of style of no frills and straight to the point, casual dressing, which is a complete opposite to her successor who was centered around controversy and sexuality. 

Emmanuelle regularly references her love of Music and builds upon her love of movies such as Saturday Night Fever, throughout December 2011 Emmanuelle complied a playlist for everyday during December filled with the sounds of George Michael, Nick Kamen, Michael Jackson and to coincide with the re-launch of Vogue Paris' website Emmanuelle Alt and her staff, best friend Agnés Boulard (also known as Mademoiselle Agnés - French TV Presenter) and regular models who feature in the Magazine Anja Rubik, Karmen Pedaru, Kendra Spears and Jasmine Tookes all re-created the iconic Wham video 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' [Below]

Alt has created some of my favorite images in History that regularly feature her favorite cast of models which include Kate Moss, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, Isabeli Fontana, Karmen Pedaru and Daria Werbowy and worked with some of the most inspirational photographers such as David Sims, Mert and Marcus, Patrick Demarchelier and Mario Testino.

Not only is her work celebrated but her Personal Style is also centre of topic during Fashion Week(s) for her relaxed, casual and super stylish attire, usually sporting some of the latest pieces by her favorite designers such as Rick Owens, Balmain, Givenchy, Ralph Lauren and Isabel Marant, her relaxed attitude to style and simplicity also supports her lack of IT Bag in her hand or on her arm as she is regularly seen carrying nothing less than her Blackberry (occasionally being seen with an Alexander McQueen clutch or her Louis Vuitton X Sofia Coppola bag).
