Zadig & Voltaire

Founded by Thierry Gillier in 1997, French fashion brand Zadig & Voltaire is synonymous with effortless rock and roll style. The brand's name and ethos are inspired by Voltaire's 1747 novel Zadig, and Thierry Gillier aims to infuse the house with the optimism and modernity that permeates the story. Inspired by a modern approach to luxury, the brand's creations blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine, exuding a rebellious spirit and a sense of modern cool.

This first monograph, published to mark the brand's 25th anniversary, tells the story of Zadig & Voltaire through its most memorable collections, advertising campaigns and iconic moments. Illustrated with photographs by some of the biggest names in fashion photography, including Inez & Vinoodh and Olivier Zahm, it reveals the influences and inspirations behind Gillier's vision.
