Frédéric Méchiche
Xavier Girard
DILECTA, 2024
Accorder, réunir en une totalité inédite les éléments apparemment contradictoires d'un intérieur est la passion prédominante de Frédéric Méchiche. Peu d'architectes d'intérieur ont su, avec cette élégance immédiate, arranger, assembler et agencer, en traversant les décennies, ce qui devait, à la fin, inventer une nouvelle et évidente simplicité. À l'origine de chacune de ses réalisations, à Londres, Paris, New York, en Toscane, au Maroc, dans des yachts ou dans son Midi adoré, quels que soient la somptuosité ou le degré de complexité du projet, un constant principe intuitif est à l'oeuvre. Dans ces deux volumes consacrés, le premier aux espaces dans lesquels il a vécu, le second à ceux qu'il a aménagés pour d'autres, les photographies de Jean-François Jaussaud déploient la riche variété des réalisations intemporelles du décorateur. Avec des textes de Xavier Girard et des témoignages d'Alexandra d'Arnoux, Robert Colonna d'Istria, Christophe Daviet-Thery, Tiqui Atencio Demirdjian et Ago Demirdjian, William Foussard, Fabrice Hyber et Annie Paté.

This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Helen McNicoll. An Impressionist Journey at Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, Quebec City, Canada 20 June 2024 to 05 January 2025. Edited by Anne-Marie Bouchard, curator of Modern Art, the volume focuses on the idea of mobility in the life of the Canadian artist Helen McNicoll (1879-1915). In the early 1900s, when women from well-to-do backgrounds were often confined to family and domestic life, Canadian Impressionist Helen McNicoll stood out for her love of travel and the discovery of new spaces. The artist emphasized painting outdoors and researching the effects of light and atmosphere that her numerous trips sustained. Her favorite subjects were scenes of everyday life, although she succeeded in offering an interpretation distinct from the Impressionists in that she focused more extensively on women's labor. The Helen McNicoll. An Impressionist Journey exhibition presents more than 60 works by the artist, 25 of them from the Pierre Lassonde collection. Through the prism of travel, the book thus examines the themes of female independence, risk-taking, friendship, and freedom for women in the stimulating context of the struggle by English suffragettes to win the right to vote.

The Flowers of Yves Saint Laurent

Flammarion, 2024
This book, produced in close collaboration with the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakesh, examines how flowers served as the designer’s muse throughout his life and work. Flowers in every form inspired fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, serving as a leitmotif in his work. His passion for plants manifested itself in countless patterns and techniques, and he adorned women in floral appliqués, prints, and embroideries. From a thousand and one rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of bougainvillea to delicate poppy blooms, and from sheaves of wheat to majestic lilies, nature was an essential part of his visual palette. Through the discerning eyes of Olivier Saillard, this veritable garden of Yves Saint Laurent’s designs—culled from a broad range of styles—metamorphoses into a bouquet of flowering silhouettes. Under the direction of Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, essays from Emanuele Coccia, Marc Jeanson, and Serena Bucalo Mussely explore, respectively, the symbolism of flowers, characteristics of his recurring prints, and the designer’s signature use of flora in accessories. This book accompanies exhibitions at the Yves Saint Laurent museums in Paris and Marrakesh in 2024 and 2025.
