His last book was published in 1998 and chances to have another one are slim. Serge Lutens was a talented fashion photographer and later became a fragrances genius. He started to experiment with makeup and photography, using his friends to pose as models. In 1962 he moved to Paris. After seeing his work, Vogue hired him to create makeup, hair and jewelry. Throughout the sixties he collaborated with great photographers such as Richard Avedon, Bob Richardson and Irving Penn. In 1967, Christian Dior commissioned him to create a makeup line which Vogue USA called “ A revolution in makeup.” Serge Lutens has a influence of geisha traditions in his work as a make-up artist. His book is just beautiful.
