I have admired Sidibe’s work for a long time, and the idea for the shoot was to dress the models (Sidibe’s extended family, including many of his 17 sons and daughters) in a mix of the printed and often African-inspired clothes from the spring collections. When it came time for the actual shoot, I started selecting combinations of models for the shots and getting people dressed. Instead of the usual hundreds and hundreds of frames per shot that I had become accustomed to in this era of digital photography, Sidibe took only two or three frames for every shot. When the shoot was over, he had only shot 22 frames on his Rolleiflex! Sidibe has an infectious smile and doles out his words of wisdom to those who come to visit him at his studio in the Bagadadji neighborhood of Bamako. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The women’s summer issue of T will appear in a special 24-page “bonus section” of the New York Times Magazine on Sunday rather than as a stand-alone issue. It will begin on page 49, with a cover featuring Diane Kruger, shot by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Inside the Cannes-themed issue, Quentin Tarantino (wearing women’s heels) is featured in a Q&A with Lynn Hirschberg, Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar is profiled, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot seven actors who emerged as stars after appearing in films at the Cannes International Film Festival, including Uma Thurman, Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Cheung and Björk. “We decided to do an issue about Cannes because it’s one of the biggest events in contemporary culture,” said T editor in chief Stefano Tonchi. “It brings fashion, movies and luxury together. I mean, whatever is left of luxury at the moment.”
