In the run-up to the 28th Hyères Fashion and Photography Festival, Suzanne von Aichinger, face and muse of designer giants Thierry Mugler, Christian Lacroix and Jean Paul Gaultier, embodies the legendary Marie-Laure de Noailles, a patron of the arts in the early 20th century who built the Noailles Villa, in a new video exclusively unveiled on Vogue.fr. This inspirational woman and her husband, the viscount Charles de Noailles, supported many artists, from filmmaker Jean Cocteau to music composer Igor Stravinsky in their creative careers and established the cultural hub the Villa Noailles in 1923, which has welcomed the Hyères Festival of Fashion and Photography every year since 1985. This year's event, which will take place from April 16 to 29, will see the small town rocked by artistic and digital inspirations and experiences, all presided over by Lacoste's creative director Felipe Oliveira Baptista, alongside photographer Charles Fréger, tasked with discovering the talented young fashion and photography stars of the future.
