The Parisianer

A singular, oversized art book from Editions Michel Lagarde, The Parisianer (2014–present) reimagines the iconic New Yorker cover style through the eyes of over a hundred French and international illustrators. Each contributor was tasked with creating a hypothetical cover for a Parisian weekly magazine, resulting in a lush, varied collection that captures the city's neighborhoods, daily life, and cultural quirks. More a gallery piece than a narrative comic, it stands as a loving, visual love letter to Paris, celebrated for its breadth of talent and its clever homage to magazine illustration tradition.
