Madonna featured in Ken Regan’s latest book
The book “All Access: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Photography Of Ken Regan” is available at Amazon (USA & UK).
Madonna is featured in the book. The photographer explained how he met the queen of pop…
“I was in Los Angeles to photograph her for the first time for People Magazine. It was during the beginning of her career in 1985, her first album and the film “Desperately Seeking Susan” had just come out. I arrive at the Mondrian Hotel, I get into the elevator, and at the very last moment a hand blocks the door. A woman gets in, and guessing by her looks, I think she’s an escort, and I’m waiting for her to make an offer. Later, when Madonna came to my room for the photo session, I realized that she was that escort! These photos taken in a gym ended up on the covers of 26 magazines.”

Madonna and the Vionnet revival
Madeleine Vionnet, the French designer called “an architect among dressmakers”, invented the bias cut and drew inspiration from Greek statues for her famous pleating, closed her business in 1939.
The revival of the famous French haute couture brand happened at the hand of an unlikely suitor, Matteo Marzotto, the Italian textile and fashion magnate, who worked for 15 years at Valentino.
It is Madonna, who has done the most for this new-old name, wearing it on the red carpet for the premiere of her upcoming film “W.E.”, about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Four original Vionnet gowns were also remade for the film.
Madame X is available in Box Set, CD, Vinyl and Cassette!
