It's a little thing but I wonder what's the (particular) reason for choosing this photo (of late 1970s ?) for the book - Hommage to Sylvie Vartan, who announced her ultimate concert in 2024.

Exposition : SYLVIE VARTAN, REVUE DE MODE
Period : 16 October 2004 - 27 February 2005
size : 170 x 235 x 18 mm
Number of page : 223
Artistically superb and handy catalogue in extremely impressive European crimson red with a matte cover and most iconic look of Sylvie Vartan wearing a summer hat (1965, just before age 21). A grand exposition in the context of mode of the history of Sylvie Vartan, a vibrant concert live performer. Debut in 1961 at age 17 with immediate success and before long she started collaborating with world-class couturiers including Yves Saint Laurent. It must have been worth a DVD. I wished I were in France or in Europe. Fortunately, we could see it in short videos of French media on this event, which is not a project any singers or actors could make. Sylvie Vartan with versatile ability and quality is never easy to describe exactly, however, the exposition shows an important aspcet of Sylvie Vartan.

Most punctual publication of the first official biography of Sylvie Vartan, who celebrates her 60th anniversary of active creative stage career in 2021. Writing after Sylvie Vartan's two autobiographies (2004 bestseller/2016). It must be worth having and reading this thick French volume.
Still, I wish the book cover were a picture of Sylvie Vartan today, rather than an easy and imcomplete reproduction of the original superb photograph (* 1994) so as to be a perfect commemorative issue.
( * French magazine ELLE - on the cover of no. 7 November 1994 - gracefully featured this Sylvie Vartan in Christian Dior with mostly black and white colors.)

Book cover: Ilona Vartan and Sylvie Vartan during their trip to Egypt, where Sylvie visited with her mother and son, David. (around mid-1970s)
Sylvie Vartan wrote memoirs of her mother Ilona Vartan (born in Hungary, 1914-2007), who was and is role model to Sylvie Vartan as well as what kept the Vartan's spirits up. Ilona Vartan always stood by her daughter Sylvie, who traveled and travels a lot around the world professionally and personally. She lived in Bulgaria, France and America, being always with Sylvie, besides her homeland Hungary as a child, a daughter of a prominent architect, who accepted the Bulgarian goverment's request to come and work for the national recovery after the First World War.
Sylvie Vartan said, appearing on the news program Journal 13h of France national television F2, it's the life of an exceptional woman who came through all moments of a century, the turbulent 20th century as well as love for her mother that dictated and had control over its direction to write this book "Maman..."
Our younger days with Sylvie Vartan, it's a recollection, book of testimonies by Sylvie Vartan fans of their encounters with the artist of their own motive that contains thrilling anecdotes of the past forty years (1961-2001). The fifteen fans are from several different generations. A lovely handy book one-cm-thick with an impressive photo of Sylvie Vartan 1968 (*) on the cover and Sylvie and her adolescent fans at the airport Orly on one Sunday in 1967 on the back. It's more than happy to see and talk with someone they truly love. It leaves a strong impression with joyful look of the both sides, fans and Sylvie. A rare photo of Sylvie's mother Ilona Vartan and a teenage girl, who visited their residence while Sylvie was away, on a walk together with Sylvie's dog is also included. Formidable book - a truth free from vanities - as a way to pay homage to the artist. The top page says: A Sylvie Vartan (To Sylvie Vartan). Touching in total.

The entire proceeds from the book is to benefit ASVB L'Association Sylvie Vartan pour la Bulgarie (Sylvie Vartan Association for Underprivileged Children), the humanitarian activities of Sylvie Vartan devoted to improving the living conditions of deprived children. Sylvie established it with her brother and musician Eddie Vartan in Dec. 1990, two months after their first return to their homeland Bulgaria in thirty eight years. It was for her first and unique concert in Sofia, just one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Communist rule in Eastern Europe.
