Marie-Amélie Sauvé Releases Book 'The World To Come' and Marks 10 Years of Mastermind Magazine
Stylist and creative director Marie-Amélie Sauvé is set to release her book 'The World To Come: Visions of an Image Maker' on October 8th. The publication features unseen Balenciaga fitting photos with Nicolas Ghesquière, essays by Donatien Grau, Alexander Fury, Emanuele Coccia, and Sophie Abriat, and traces Sauvé's 30-year career. The book coincides with the 10th anniversary of Mastermind, a biannual magazine Sauvé founded that covers cultural subjects beyond fashion. Sauvé also has a Mastermind podcast and an exhibition at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac upcoming. In an interview at Café de Flore, Sauvé discussed her enduring friendship with Ghesquière, her start at Vogue at 19, and her approach to anticipating trends. She emphasized the importance of supporting new talent, mentioning photographers like Karim Sadli and Julien Martinez Leclerc. Sauvé described her role as atypical, having created her own position beyond styling. She noted that her personal and professional lives are intertwined, and she values time for meditation and yoga. Regarding Mastermind, she felt compelled to create a timeless print publication contrary to the digital age. She also commented on the difficulty of originality today and the value of physical magazines. The book and related projects highlight Sauvé's influential but often behind-the-scenes role in shaping Parisian high fashion.
