Kiki de Montparnasse

The founder of the Brooklyn-based fragrance studio Joya tells us how he got into the perfume business.

Doing side plank hip lifts (with an apparent headache, no less) on a leather couch has never looked so sexy.

In 1926, Man Ray photographed Kiki de Montparnasse holding an African mask, which later inspired the photo for Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique fragrance ad.

Jennifer Zuccarini’s resume was already ridiculously impressive before launching her own line last year. The ambitious designer cofounded the uber-seductive Kiki de Montparnasse before becoming design director at Victoria’s Secret—talk about lingerie street cred. But developing a line all her own was always the goal, and in 2012 she did just that with the launch of Fleur du Mal. More than just another lingerie line, Zuccarini’s vision was to create an experience that celebrates both getting dressed and undressing, and everything that surrounds it. We talked to her about how it all came about.

During a transitional period of my life, I enjoyed a brief stint as a wardrobe stylist for Playboy magazine - also known as the most ironic job ever.
