Carine Roitfeld unveiled the first full fashion image from her eagerly
awaited CR Fashion Book online July 23, with Dutch fashion
model Juliet Ingleby starring in the dramatic shoot.
The first issue of the former French Vogue editor's semiannual
magazine, set to retail at $9.95, will be launched September 13, with
half of the distribution to be in Europe and the rest across Asia and the US.
In the new image Ingleby wanders
through a cemetery wearing a billowing lavender veil, with the latter moving in
the breeze thanks to animated GIF (Graphics Interchange Format).
Roitfeld is gradually building hype for the new
publication, which will be officially feted with a launch during New
York Fashion Week.
Since departing from French Vogue in
January last year, Roitfeld has kept busy working on projects including a book
with Karl Lagerfeld on Chanel's iconic little black
jacket, penning a tome on her career called Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent,
as well as styling gigs for the likes of department store Barneys New York and
guest-editing publications including VMan.
She is best known for the often provocative and
boundary-pushing imagery seen in French Vogueduring her
time at the helm, although speaking earlier in the year the fashion expert
insisted she would be finding "new ways to be irreverent" when
styling shoots for CR.
The
magazine's name is inspired by her handwritten initials which adorned the
monthly editor's letter for the period that she helmed French Vogue.
