Taking on a deeply entrenched French cliché, Lindsey Tramuta‘s new book The New Parisienne is getting a lot of attention as it focuses on one of the city’s most prominent features, its women.
Lifting the veil on the mythologized Parisian woman—white, lithe, ever-fashionable—in this interview, Lindsey demystifies this oversimplified archetype and recasts the women of Paris as they truly are, in all their complexity.
