Marion Cotillard poses for Spring 2010 Citizen K International issue

Marion Cotillard breaks out the French screen as Lilly, the sexy & fresh girlfriend of Sami Naceri in Taxi, a French film written by Luc Besson, and directed by Gerard Pires, of cops and cars in the streets of Marseille, a harbour city of Southern France. I was completing high school. I was dreaming that like Lilly’s boyfriend (Marion’s character) mine was half-gangster, half-sweatheart.
Time has gone since. She won an Academy Award for her leading role in La Vie en Rose. From the 4th sexy girlfriend role, she has became a powerful name in France. And it seems she’s making one in Hollywood. The shoot above is by photographer Ruven Afanador for Citizen K International.

In those pics, I like how the purple tone flatters the dull colors of the outfits and furnitures.

It’s Citizen K International that’s drawn me to fashion magazines. Though I’ve always been keen on shopping, I used to consider Vogue and likes stacks of pics of outfits I didn’t understand. I came to fashion with Citizen K I picked one morning that I was sick of reading the same thing every year at the same period. For instance, spring favorite topic until June is diet. I’m horrified how magazines write bs about diet toward women who’re not able to get control of what and how their mouth eat … but that’s another post. The issue was and is still 1€ worth. Glossy paper. Quality pics. I subscribed for one year (4 €, shipping fees included). That’s how I started to feed my mind with fashion.
