Capturing sisters Marie and Lucie Cornil in clothes once stocked in their grandmother’s boutique, this photo book is an intergenerational portrait of family love and fashion
A product of collaboration in every sense, the resulting images were thoughtfully edited by Florine Bonaventure into a limited run of 500 books. Though the project was sparked by a desire to document Geneviève’s forgotten archive , for Kluczenko and Bienert, the finished product is really about family love and the special relationship shared between sisters.
“The bonds between people, what links them and the transmission from one generation to another is something really important to me,” the stylist says. “I think sisterhood in general is really beautiful and interesting,” Bienert adds. “The older I get, the more I experience that family is the most important thing in life. Really, there's nothing above it.” Marie and Lucie by Patrick Bienert and Ewa Kluczenko is self-published, and is out now.
