the rumour mill

who knows these days what is real and not real?  the fashion internet is ablaze with rumours that carine roitfeld has a eponymous line in the works based on the above photographs. apparently someone named amber atherton tweeted the picture of a garment with a carine roitfeld label. that same day derek blasberg tweeted the bottom photo of carine along with hairstylist luigi moreni & photographer iano henzi at the wolseley in london.  that's a lot of leaps for me but i wouldn't be mad if it's true!

germaine krull (1897 - 1985) was associated with surrealism, bauhaus & a member of the "new photography. the modernity of her subjects (metal architecture, industrial design) earned her the nickname of the "iron valkyrie." her famous shots of the eiffel tower pushed the photographic conventions of the time. she was the first woman to become a war correspondent (germany, italy & indochina). in paris between 1926 & 1928 she became friends with artists sonia & robert delaunay, jean cocteau, the writer colette & photographer eli lotar & others; her commercial work consisted of fashion photography, nudes & portraits.
