Fashion editor Mary Russell reflects on Karl Lagerfeld and other fashion icons in her new book of personal photographs.
“I want to record everything I like. It’s never been about making money or selling pictures,” Russell said. “It’s sharing an intimate moment for the time I’m there, and capturing the essence of our human connection.”
In fact, roughly 80 percent of the images in her new book, “Entre Nous: Bohemian Chic in the 1960s and 1970s,” have never been published.
“I think it’s just innate curiosity and wanting to be part of the story,” she muses. “I took pictures for the pleasure of taking pictures.”
Her affection for Lagerfeld also ran deep. “For his genius, his eye, his wit, his total and huge comprehension of everything at once. He was a Renaissance man,” she says. “He was totally generous, and totally merciless, but vulnerable. He had a lovely, vulnerable heart which he hid quite well.”
