Book Review: The Little Theatre of Vincent Darré

This handsome oversized volume is a lavish scrapbook bursting with creativity that presents 20 recent projects, inspiring encounters and ephemeral décors created by designer Vincent Darré. Quirky and richly illustrated with original drawings and personal photographs, each page of this luxurious and joyful album is a poetic exploration, a trip to the heart of fantasy. From hand-rendered interiors for the Ritz Paris hotel, to haute couture shoots for Vogue and theatrical costume designs for Arielle Dombasle, all of the featured projects are original and extravagant exercises in style.

Vincent Darré invites readers to discover his singular universe that has defined his inimitable style in which he succeeds in making frivolity an art in its own right. Several of Vincent’s friends and muses contributed to the book, including César award-winning actress and singer Isabelle Adjani and actress, screenwriter director and singer Valérie Lemercier.
