A collection of photographs by world-renowned make-up artist Francois Nars. His aim was to create an art book containing over 200 elegant and unconventional images, featuring his favourite personalities from the worlds of fashion, design, film and music - and people who stood out on the street, personifying bold, audacious chic. Nars travelled the globe and invited each individual to sit for him, styling each portrait session according to the sitters "metier", personality and "elan". The result is a portait, or X-ray, of individuals who include: Alexander McQueen, Amber Valletta, Christy Turlington, Grace Jones, Angelica Houston, Anna Sui, Earth Kitt, Anita Pallenberg, Isabella Rossellini, Juliette Lewis, Lauren Hutton, Lauryn Hill, Manalo Blahnik, Paloma Picasso, Quentin Crisp and Nigel Coates.
