In her ’50s heyday,
Graziani was the most photographed woman in France, a muse to Jacques Fath and
Hubert de Givenchy—who famously designed a blouse named for her—whose rich and
varied love life was amply documented.
(Her first husband, Benno Graziani, a
photojournalist who helped launch Paris Match, was also present.) “When I look
at these pictures, I feel like I’m right there,” she said, nodding toward a
’60s-era shoot by Irving Penn for Vogue.
“It’s like nothing has changed since the photo shoots we used to set up in my
living room.”
Indeed, most of the
photographs on display—like the iconic 1953 shot of her peering into the window
at Van Cleef & Arpels in the Place Vendôme—are Graziani’s own. “She,
Azzedine, and I just came up with the idea of doing [a show], and Bettina said,
‘Let’s do it while I’m still here!’ and so we did,” commented Carla Sozzani,
who hosted the first Bettina exhibit
during Milan fashion week. Whether the show will travel elsewhere is yet to be
confirmed, but the Paris run of Bettina stretches through January 11, 2015.
