General info :
Irène Silvagni is the former Creative Director of Yohji Yamamoto and Fashion Editor In Chief of Vogue Paris.

She started her work in fashion in the late 1960s and worked her way from Mademoiselle to Elle to Vogue.
From 1984 to 1990 Irène served as European Editor for Condé Nast Vogue US european editor.
In 1992 she became the fashion editor of Vogue Paris where she pioneered the work of photographers like Peter Lindbergh, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber and Paolo Roversi, at the time all young and looking for a break.
In 1991 she resigned, after a lunch meeting where an important advertiser tried to put the screws in, and her publisher’s silence spoke volumes. On the day she left she famously received the gift of a photograph from every photographer she had worked with at Vogue, delivered to her office every hour, on the hour. Shortly afterwards a chance encounter with Yohji Yamamoto led to the next phase in Irene’s life, as the designer’s creative director.
Next to Yamamoto, who Irene affectionately calls her spiritual ‘brother’, she helped the designer fine-tune his vision and shape his legacy, in the process leaving an indelible mark on the history of fashion.

She resides in the Paris Area, France.
