For 30 years in Paris, 15 in New York, and 10 in London, LE BOOK has been the bible of the fashion,
beauty, design, entertainment, publishing and advertising industries. Displaying the work of the
most revered photographers, designers & illustrators of our time, LE BOOK serves not only as an
indispensable reference, but also as a time capsule of the years most noteworthy images.
Created in 1982 by Vronique Kolasa, LE BOOK started as a local source in the Parisian market for
all photography and fashion-related professionals. It quickly became the secret tool for the small
yet burgeoning creative industry. Over the years, as the size and circulation of the book continued
to grow, so did the demand to have a similar directory for the other major international markets.
Thus, in 1995, the frst edition of LE BOOK New York was released, with distribution throughout the
United States, Canada and select venues in Asia. November 1999 saw the launch of LE BOOK
London followed by LE BOOK Berlin in 2009 for Germany and Eastern Europe, and our latest edition
LE BOOK West Coast just released in fall 2010. Like the Paris and New York editions, London, Berlin
and West Coast provide comprehensive listings for all photography, flm, video production and
event-related services.
Today, the carefully targeted circulation of 36,000 copies is annually distributed for free to all
the decision-makers at every luxury brand throughout the United States, Canada, France, Italy,
Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Northern Europe and Asia. In addition, our most reputable
international guide touches the four corners of the globe through www.lebook.com, which receives
over 80,000 visits monthly in large part due to its invaluable LA CREATIVE service.
With an unparalleled global presence, LE BOOK has become the international key to the production
worlda portal to more than 50,000 professionals. The most famed photographers, art directors,
stylists and model agencies; the most lauded producers, location fnders, photo labs, rental studios,
event spaces and caterers; the pre-eminent record labels, magazines, advertising agencies, fashion
designers and PR frms can all be found in LE BOOK. In short, LE BOOK is a must for everything and
everyone that propels the creative industry.
Showcasing thousands of images, LE BOOK is a virtual whos who of contemporary talent including

of LE BOOK. The result was a slick interpretation of
a sophisticated lady looking at LE BOOK with the
phrase, LOOK LE BOOK.
Diffcult to book without LE BOOK.

FOR USE IN ALL CREATIVE SOURCING
MISSIONS, Maharishi
For the 2002 edition of LE BOOK London,
sophisticated urban clothing label Maharishi gave
its own version of LE BOOKs creative and peaceful
mission, featuring one of their signature camoufage
prints.
LOVE, Yves Saint Laurent
2003 editions of LE BOOK featured exclusive drawings
from legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent. Every year
from 1971 to 2001, Monsieur Saint Laurent interpreted
the word Love on a series of holiday greeting cards
that he illustrated himself, and sent to his friends and
colleagues. Shortly after retiring, he donated this
private collection of images to LE BOOK, as a farewell
kiss to the creative industry that he belonged to for so
many years.

Creative Collaborations
Every year, LE BOOK presents the personal work of some of the most well respected
international fashion designers, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Christian
Lacroix, and showcases exclusive prints and hidden treasures from such legendary fashion
houses as Emilio Pucci, Hrmes or Yohji Yamamoto, and recently Azzedine Alaa, Paul Smith,
Martine Sitbon and Marc Ascoli, Proenza Schouler and legendary magazine Stern.
Following the collaboration with Christian Lacroix, LE BOOK
shared its love of the designers little monsters by exhibiting
them at the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. From October 7th to
December 9th 2003, the parks railings were covered with
giant images of the little monsters, to the joy of the public,
and all attendees of Paris Fashion Week in October that
year. The exhibition was sponsored by LVMH.
2003 CALENDAR by Slve Sundsb
LE BOOK launched LE CALENDAR in 2003, featuring
unpublished work by photographer Slve Sundsb. In the
words of art director Michel Mallard, Sundsbs images
unveiled a study of nature and its sublime wonder, the
purest and most instinctive approach that I have seen to
landscape photography. Sundsb told the story behind
each picture: January is about the winter light in Norway
while February is a memory of skiing in the Alps. September is
about coming back to the city after summer holidays, while
October is about vanishing lights.
An exclusive distribution of 2000 complimentary calendars
were sent to a group of VIPs in the fashion, photography
and media industries, while a limited number of calendars
were available for sale at Jeffreys in New York and Colette
in Paris.
LES MONSTRES by Christian Lacroix
For the design of its 2004 editions, LE BOOK brought three
major creative talents together: fashion designer Christian
Lacroix, artist|photographer Guido Mocafco, and art
director Michel Mallard. Mr. Lacroix entrusted LE BOOK with
the opportunity to unveil his one-of-a-kind personal collection
of high-fashion dolls, dubbed little monsters. It was his wish
to have these creations immortalized by one of his favorite
photographers, Guido Mocafco. Mr. Lacroix creates these
dolls as a personal hobby, employing the fabrics of his haute
couture collections to express the freedom, creativity, and
untamed nature of his house. Over the years, these little
monsters have become the unoffcial mascots for both
Christian Lacroix and LE BOOK.
LE BOOK is to style what a dictionary is to a writer, a tool
that helps transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

EMILIO PUCCI
The House of Emilio Pucci, under the image direction
of Laudomia Pucci and creative direction of Christian
Lacroix, granted LE BOOK exclusive rights to showcase
patterns from Emilio Puccis Fall 2004 and Spring 2005
collections.
A splash of colour and Italian glamour dressed LE

2004 CALENDAR, featuring Christian
Lacroixs Little Monsters
In 2004, Christian Lacroixs little monsters flled LE
BOOKs calendar, and gave readers the ability to
see the monsters from the front or the back. On the
front, Guido Mocafcos full color images over a white
background was used. On the back, Toby McFarlan
Pond proposed his own vision, shooting the monsters
over a black background.
2,000 complimentary copies of this instant collectible
were sent to VIPs in the fashion, photography and media
industries. A limited number of calendars were available for
sale at Jeffreys in New York and Colette in Paris.

HERMS
In 2005, LE BOOK worked in collaboration with fashion
and luxury brand Herms to showcase patterns from
their collection of carrs (scarves). Their rich design
history, combined with LE BOOKs status as inspira-
tion for future creation, this association was a perfect
match.
The carrs date back to 1937, when Herms designers
drew inspiration from the collection of paintings, books
and objets dart passionately compiled by founder
mile Herms. The carrs have since attained the sta-
tus of a timeless fashion classic. LE BOOK aimed to
celebrate this creative savoir-faire through its new
editions.
YOHJI YAMAMOTO
Black, white, red and simplicity. This is the philosophy that
traveled from Yohji Yamamotos world to LE BOOKs pages
for 2006.
The New York edition presented a selection of superb
original sketches, made between 1982 and 2002, by revered
Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto.
Rarely seen before, these Yamamoto sketches refect
uniquely the rigorous search for perfect cut and draping
that defne the masters silhouettes. By showcasing these
pencil and charcoal drawings, delicately highlighted with
watercolour touches, LE BOOK unveiled the root of these
clothes creation while celebrating the hand that brought
them into full realization. With a nod to Talking to Myself
by Yohji Yamamoto, the only monographic publication on
Yamamoto so far, the front and back covers of LE BOOK New
York was covered in fabric representing the importance of
material choice as the starting point of the designers work.

originaux raliss entre 1982 et 2005 par le couturier japonais.
Trs rarement montrs, les dessins de Yohji Yamamoto reftent
dune faon unique lexigence de la coupe et du tomb qui
dfnissent les silhouettes du crateur. En prsentant ces croquis
raliss au fusain et la mine de plomb, avec des ponctuations de

AZZEDINE ALAA
In 2007, the New York and London editions of LE BOOK
proposed a trip into renowned designer Azzedine Alaas
world. LE BOOK New York showed the vision of Mr. Alaas
long time friend, Jean-Paul Goude, whose collaboration
with Mr. Alaa gave birth to some of the most recognizable
fashion images of the 80s; fabric, needle and scissors in one
hand, camera and negative exposures in the other. Together,
they both exaggerated and sublimated the bodies of some
extreme feminine creatures; Beatrice Dalle, Farida, and
Grace Jones, three muses who marked their era.
On one of the LE BOOK New York covers is Azzedine
and Farida (1987), a cut up photo reconstructed with
scotch tape by Goude that was an iconic image in fashion
magazines worldwide at the time of its release. On another
cover is Beatrice Dalle as an exuberant Parisian woman,
carrying genius personifed in pile of gift boxes from the
house of Alaa.
LE BOOK London presented a personal piece by Sarah
Moon inspired by recent creations of Azzedine Alaa.
VOGUE, NARCISO RODRIGUEZ AND
VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
LE BOOK 2008 reinforced its creative edge by col-
laborating with Narcisso Rodriguez for the New York
edition, with Vienne Westwood for the London edition,
and with VOGUE France for the Paris edition. Three
strong visions for three memorable publications.

130 i-D THE HAPPINESS ISSUE
These Scousers make us smile. Honed on Liverpools
hardcore punk and metal circuit, and playing an unconventional brand of
indie pop, you could say Hot Club de Paris brothers Matthew and Al Smith
plus Paul Rafferty emerged from a musical school of hard knocks. All our
friends were hardcore kids, so that mentality has always been drilled into us,
states guitarist Matthew. Weve always had to keep up with the thrash.
Beneath the surface of vocal harmonies, their sound is brimming with US
punk. Densely syncopated rhythms, and unusual structures, invoke math-punk
legends Don Caballero. Their towering harmonies and less-is-more approach
to song length see long-titled but 2.08 mins short Sometimes Its Better
Not to Stick Bits of Each Other in Each Other For Each Other is
borrowed from another of their favourites: pop punk icons NOFX. With all
this in mind, however, there is still no escaping the British indie environment
in which they reluctantly find themselves. For a laugh we spent one tour
speaking in American accents in between songs, then wed still be singing in
Scouse, Matthew remembers. It was taking the piss out of most the bands
we played with who insisted on singing in this terrible Yankee whine. Hot
Club have no chip on their shoulder singer Pauls warm lyrical charm and
regional observation takes the sting out, and presents a more palatable
package for the average shmindie punter. Yet it still seems they dont quite fit
in the Club. No one knows what to do with us, sighs Matthew, they keep
on comparing us to these indie bands weve never heard of. But whatever, as
long as people like it I guess thats what matters. www.hotclubdeparis.com

LE BOOK + i-D : 25 Years and Counting
LE BOOK and i-D Magazine celebrated their 25th birthdays together on June 15th,
2005 at New Yorks Skylight Studios. 3,000 guests joined the celebration including
numerous fashion and photography VIPs, and enjoyed music by DFA Records
founder Juan Maclean. Works by artists including Mario Sorrenti, Ellen von Unwerth,
Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier and Craig McDean, decorated the walls,
illustrating the longtime liaisons between LE BOOK the the best in photography
and fashion over the past quarter century. Also on the walls were 25 years of i-D
Magazine covers. All this was put together by Hady Sy, curator of the International
Festival of Fashion Photography, and retrospectives of Yves Saint Laurent and
Cond Nast. Rumor has it that this the frst of its kind. www.lebook.com|expony2005

Karl Lagerfelds got the notion: Hard to book without LE BOOK.
This quote sums up the characteristics of how infuential our publication is; unknown by the public, but
indispensible for professionals in fashion, photography and publicity. Insiders already know that when running
an event or producing a shoot, LE BOOK is the richest and easiest resource to fnd all the right contacts.
LE BOOK compiles thousands of addresses, phone numbers, and samples from visual professionals in Europe
and the United States. Crammed with information and superbly illustrated, LE BOOK is the network bible of
image-makers defning our era.
Veronique Kolasa created LE BOOK at the start of the 80s. Closely connected with thousands of Parisians
in fashion and photography, she kept getting the same questions: Do you know how to fnd such and such
photographer? Do you know somebody who could do this or that? It was through this that she gathered
together vital word of mouth information into one accessible body, bringing to life LE BOOK. Unchanged
since, the sleek format and famous spiral binding were there from the start.
In publicity, magazine and press offces everywhere, LE BOOK has quickly become both an everyday staple
and a cult object. With the globalization of image professions, this secret weapon of Parisians was bound
to burst past the borders. 1995 brought the frst edition of LE BOOK New York, and in 1999 the creation LE
BOOK London. Today, LE BOOK possesses a circulation of 36,000 recipients throughout Europe, the U.S.,
and Asia.
Since the 1980s, weve witnessed photographers become stars all of their own. Always a faithful refection of
the creative world, LE BOOK has followed every fuctuation down the wire of its annual editions. A signpost
of the times, its pages have been seen scoured by Helmut Newton, David Sims, Philip Lorca di Corcia, Paolo
Roversi, Sarah Moon, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti, Patrick Demarchelierthe list is long and
draws a fawless whos who of contemporary fashion and photography.
