CR Fashion Book Issue 10, now part of the newly formed CR Fashion Book Ltd. led by president, Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld, is the first issue to be produce by PubWorX, a joint venture between Hearst Magazines and Condé Nast, which is now managing printing, production and distribution services for the biannual CR Fashion Book in print.

In tandem, CR Men’s Book featured artist Gucci Mane on its cover shot by Terry Richardson. This marks the first-ever fashion covers for all three stars. The theme of the highly-anticipated issue is Paris, chosen by editor in chief Carine Roitfeld, as it is the city that defines and inspires her the most. Roitfeld imagined this issue as a love letter to Paris, to show that the vitality of the city has not been lost and the fantasy lives on. Roitfeld pulled inspiration for this issue from non-Parisians to capture the outsiders’ perspective of the city.

From viewing the collection, my favorite pieces included collar necklaces, wide belts, sheer tops, and long (flowing) skirts.  Every design from the show was stunning!
