First up, no one we know has ever seen Des Parisiennes (I). Let's get that out of the way right now. What we have seen is a lot of books by Pierre Le Gall from all regions of France but none, like NONE, in any way come close to this. This extraordinary. Or extra extra ordinary, if you prefer. The most amazing street fashion book and it's almost possibly, quite kind of likely, accidental. 

This is why! Like Margiela, Vetements and Balenciaga. And this is just one photograph in a series of pictures of Parisian women holding things in their mouths - really! The woman on the next page has a newspaper in her mouth (also a classic). Then there are the series of images of women carrying more than one bag - really! The lady above qualifies on so many counts. 

Just so you understand. This is one page from the hairstyles section. Le Gall - who spent his career photographing the French public - spent this book obsessing over styling. 

And what styling. Leather jacket over zip up blouson over mini skirt with cowboy boots. And she is from the women carrying shopping section! 

We know you already want it. Even before you stop to consider the photographic masterwork above with its balanced groceries and Renault 5 hatchback boot dilemma. This is a rare book, however. And we are writing this now because we have stockpiled a whole TWO copies. The only two we can find in the world right now. They can be yours (well, one of them can) - just hit the button below.
