Grégoire Alexandre is a Paris-based photographer whose works transcend that label. Christian Lacroix called his work "contemporary poetry" and clients from Issey Miyaki and Pierre Hardy to Nike and Montcler agree. Impeccably modern and instantly timeless, we find Alexandre's work to be deeply inspiring. We're pleased to share his summer reading recommendations, of which he says "Some of these selections I've already read some time ago and others still I haven’t, but I want to dive into them all this summer. Each is about creation and art." Merci, Grégoire!
