SOFIA COPPOLA guest editor KIRSTEN DUNST Francis Ford PARIS VOGUE December 2004

Cover plus interview and photo shoot, by Mario Testino. Sofia Coppola is the guest editor and most of this issue is on, about, or by, Sofia.  Great collector's item for the iconic director and style setter.

This is one of our extremely special issues of French Vogue.  French Vogue has traditionally invited artists, models and creatives to guest edit its Christmas edition since the 1970's.

"If Sofia Coppola ever tires of film making, she has a second career waiting in the wings." According to French Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld’s assessment after working with the Oscar-winning director on this issue.  “She was a natural,” enthused Roitfeld. “She could replace me tomorrow. She’s got the right eye. She’s energetic, she’s gifted and she’s got taste.”  Roitfeld called this collaboration with Coppola very personal. “Sofia’s of our generation,” she said. “We share the same references. She’s in the heart of film and fashion and she knows music. And then she was very involved in everything. She really got into it.”  “She got hair extensions and she even posed [semi] nude,” said Roitfeld.

Coppola posed several times for everyone from Craig McDean, Inez & Vinoodh to David Sims.

Mario Testino shot the black-and-white cover of Coppola outfitted in a Marc Jacobs-designed evening dress.

Coppola also contributed plenty of her own pictures, not to mention other content.

She picked her favourite fashion and accessories looks for spring, including a 6.15-carat Harry Winston diamond heart pendant (“Sofia loves diamonds,” laughed Roitfeld).

Sofia also provided her list of style icons, and asked stars, including Faye Dunaway and Pedro Almodovar, to give us their five favourite films.

Coppola, who had at the time had moved to Paris for a film based on Marie-Antoinette, recruited her friends and family, too :
- Quentin Tarantino sent in 20-year-old tapes of an interview he conducted with “Conan The Barbarian” director John Milius;
- Dennis Hopper interviewed Pop Art icon Ed Ruscha 6 pages
- Coppola provided an email exchange with her famed father, Francis Ford Coppola, of advice about film making.
