Study, a quarterly magazine launched last year by Christopher Niquet, devotes each issue to a specific subject that he has a close connection to, including the work of playwright Adrienne Kennedy, stylist Camille Bidault-Waddington, the photography of model Vivienne Rohner, and even more atmospheric themes like New York homes or the architecture of Dakar as seen through the eyes of photographer Romain Laprade. The latest issue, On Models as Cultural Markers, is inspired by the work of Dominique Vinant, a casting director who in the ’90s worked with Martine Sitbon, Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela, and Yohji Yamamoto—designers known for seeking to create a completely self-contained universe on their runway that is also a reflection of their own communities, their very specific place in the world. Vinant began working in PR, first as Alexandre de Betak’s assistant, and later by opening the first Karla Otto office in Paris. She became a casting director “by accident.”
