A work that pays homage to the life and figure of the enigmatic French dandy Jacques de Bascher.

Known for his relationship with Karl Lagerfeld and his influence in the circle of Yves Saint Laurent, de Bascher was a key figure in Parisian high society in the 1970s and 1980s.

The book presents a selection of photographs taken by Philippe Heurtault, a close friend of Jacques de Bascher, which capture moments of luxury, parties and the decadent aesthetic that characterized Parisian high society in those years.
