"Babeth ? An eye with a voice", this is how Karl Lagerfeld described her in the retrospective book of her career. Known for her avant-garde spirit that transperced in her first magazine, Jill, now cult, and now in Numéro magazine she founded in 1998, Babeth has defined the silhouette of the modern woman. Some of the biggests industry started with her. Great friend of Peter Lindbergh, Jean Paul Gaultier and Jean Baptiste Mondino, among others, she is known for her loyalty and open-mindedness that extends to every branch, culture and person. Her generosity goes beyond the world of fashion: great philanthropist, she organizes a charity dinner every year for the Children of Rwanda. An eye, a voice and a big heart.
