If you should imagine a star who is the incarnation of the French women, a name arrive naturally in mind : Catherine Deneuve
She’s not only an amazing actress at the pinnacle of movies since La nouvelle vague, working with all the best director (Demy, Polanski, Truffaut, Lars von Trier…) but an incarnation of the French style, muse of many fashion creator, best friend of Yves saint Laurent, close to Lagarfeld, Channel N°5 egeria.
I found this really subtle portrait of her, done by Helmut Newton in 1979 with in back-group the only French symbol stronger then her : the Eifel Tower 😉
