La Foresta Magica (La Forêt d'Elzéard), by Géraldine Elschner and illustrated by Fréderick Mansot (Jaca Book/ Editions L’Élan Vert)
In this book, the colors and atmospheres of Provence tie together the plot of The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono with the most intense canvases by Van Gogh, which act as backdrops to the story. And it is precisely the colors and material brushstrokes of the Dutch painter that inspired us to offer you some ideas for the next autumn-winter wardrobe, drawing upon the vital energy of nature, from golden wheat fields to starry skies. It is not known whether the story of the shepherd who planted trees is fact or fiction, but, after all, it is too beautiful not to believe it. And not to be inspired.
