At the Ritz Paris

This is one of the most glamourous, inspiring and mesmerizing photoshoots that I have come across. Before closing its doors for renovations the RITZ PARIS allowed Kate Moss, Vogue and Haute Couture to enter and amaze.  Photographer Tim Walker,  hairdresser Julien d'Ys, makeup artist Stephane Marais, set designer Andy Hillman and Vogue orchestrated and envisioned this stunning masterpiece of fashion art.  The hotel is known for hosting some of the worlds most famous fashion shows and a favorite of iconic designers including Coco Chanel, Oscar De La Renta, Gianni Versace, and Karl Lagerfeld. Prepare to be enraptured!
