Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, publisher and book dealer, began working as a photographer in 1987. Lagerfeld has since received the Lucky Strike Design Award from the Raymond Loewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the German Photographic
Society, and the ICP Trustees Award from the International Center of Photography. Steidl has published most of Lagerfeld s books, including A Portrait of Dorian Gray (2004), Room Service (2006), The Beauty of Violence (2010) and the best-selling The Little Black Jacket (2012).
Fashion editor Babeth Djian, whose first magazine Jill is still a
reference point today, has been at the origin of dozens of cult
images published in French and Italian Vogue, Glamour, Mixte and now Numéro. With her visionary eye, Babeth belongs to the few who make a tangible difference in today s universe of appearances. A large number of photographers, stylists,
make-up artists, hairdressers and models began their careers under her direction. In 2008, Edition 7L published her book Babeth.
