Thierry Gillier is a French entrepreneur. He is the founder of Zadig & Voltaire. Nicole Phelps is the Global Director of Vogue Runway and Vogue Business.
"""'Life is not a straight road—ups and downs—but it’s my way,' reads Thierry Gillier’s note jotted onto a Château Voltaire memo pad. Little did Gillier know when he dashed this off in the late ’90s that this note would serve as an opening to a book covering the decades-long journey of his passion project and one of fashion’s favorite cult brands. In Zadig Voltaire: Established 1997 in Paris, the knitwear rebel and global director of Vogue Runway Nicole Phelps discusses the French brand’s most iconic moments. Captured by the lenses of photographic icons such as Olivier Zahm and the deft duo behind V’s very own current September covers, Inez Vinoodh, this marvelous monograph oozes sensuality with divinely undone imagery. There’s even a little insider knowledge from the designer himself, with notes on his influences and inspirations. It all started with some cashmere, a defiant spirit, and a dash of rock ‘n’ roll—and the rest is history."" —V MAGAZINE"
