Mylene Farmer and Paolo Roversi

The photos taken from this shoot taken at the beginning of 1999 (initially for the promotion of the Innamoramento album) have not been validated by Mylène. Some were, however, published by the “Instant Mag” fanzine in 2004.

MYLENE FARMER AND ELLEN VON UNWERTH

My dear friends, as I continue my coverage of the photographers Mylene has worked, Ellen Von Unwerth is definitely the one whose work you have noticed from just browsing an internet. The reason is most likely a slight shock and at the same time your mouth is probably salivating as your heart skips the beat… somewhere between the mental confusion and the feast for the senses…It is so sexually charged and so unfiltered in the basic desire mixed with the heightened sense of visual aesthetics – it is all together rebellious, honest and almost explosive in its powerful delivery.

Mylene Farmer early photos

We all really love seeing early Mylene’s photos. From the times when she worked as a model and advertised clothes and even household items for IKEA. She was adorable then no less than she is gorgeous now.

I have created a dedicated page to display her early photos – since the very first baby pictures through adolescence and finally into her 20s where the Fame finally made her recognizable to millions.

Herb Ritts and Mylene Farmer

Herb Ritts’ choice was not innocent. I knew he could take me to a certain sensuality without giving me the impression of being naked. Perhaps there is also the word woman which scares me less and which I totally accept. These photos are perhaps more female.
Le choix d’Herb Ritts n’était pas innocent. Je savais qu’il pouvait m’emmener vers une certaine sensualité sans me donner l’impression d’être nue. Il y a peut-être aussi le mot femme qui me fait moins peur et que j’accepte totalement. Ces photos sont peut-être plus féminines.
Выбор Херба Риттса не был невинным. Я зналa, что он может довести меня до определенной чувственности, не создавая впечатления, что я обнаженa. Возможно, есть еще слово “женщина”, которое пугает меня меньше и которое я полностью принимаю. Эти фотографии, возможно, более женственные
