The Eileen Gray biopic, THE PRICE OF DESIRE, was released in select theaters in the UK and Ireland on Friday. Unfavorable reviews continue to be problematic for a wider release of the film. Despite the quality of its cast, both the cinematography and soundtrack have been faulted as well as a dull script that, according to the majority of the critics, definitely needs more passion and insight. Here's a new publicity photo:

Vincent's 17-year-old daughter Iman accepted an invitation to attend a press conference for the 3rd edition of the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping at the Café de l'Homme in the Trocadéro district held on May 24.  Besides Iman, Chairman Virginia Coupérie Eiffel welcomed other horse riders, such as actor Guillaume Canet and 15-year-old Mathilde Pinault, daughter of Francois-Henri Pinault (CEO of Kering). The upcoming competition event will last three days from July 1-3. On Saturday, the Longines Global Champions Tour Paris' Grand Prix will take place. 

FYI, I've also added more than 25 new photos from Iman's modeling sessions. It appears she has quite a career ahead of her.You go, girl! When her father was recently asked about her appearance at the Debutantes Ball last November, he said he would never have imagined going but when he received a proposal from a friend, he shared this with Iman, who immediately said yes to the invitation. He thought this was a good opportunity for her since she is a model. Vincent loved the encounter between Iman and Jean Paul Gaultier, who was enamoured with the young girl and presented her in his next fashion show.

On April 11 Vincent and his wife Karine attended the 15th anniversary celebration of the association, "Innocence en Danger" at the Variety Theatre in Paris. Many celebrities were present to support the charity, which sponsors a number of child victims of all nationalities, in the context of artistic learning trips, sports and culture.

Since the publication of her second book, "Autour du soleil" in January, Karine has continued to promote her book through interviews and book signings. On March 24 she was the guest on the show "Les Rendez-vou de la Baule". Authors are invited on the occasion of a book release to present it to the public.

Yesterday Madame Figaro announced - "This spring the French brand of Swildens clothing launches Rollers, a retro line represented by the daughter of Vincent Perez." Yes, that would be eldest daughter Iman. The photo to the left shows Vincent posing with designer Juliette Swildens back in April of 2014. In her limited spring-summer collection, whose star is none other than a pair of skates, one can easily see the influence of the past, definitely a mix of bohemian chic, rock and classic. You may remember that Vincent was the face of IKKS during 2010 and 2011. Check out his modeling pages here.

Yesterday the Catherine Houard Gallery in Paris presented the first solo exhibition of drawings, serigraphs and sculptures by Vincent's stepdaughter Roxane Depardieu. Do you remember her father playing the great French sculptor Auguste Rodin in "Camille Claudel"? The 24-year-old is a graduate of CalArts, a private university located in Valencia, CA. At the opening of the exhibition, she was joined by several members of her family - her mother Karine, her father Gerard, her grandmother (Vincent's mother-in-law) Renee Silla, niece Louise Depardieu and Vincent's children - half-sisters Iman and Tess and half-brother Pablo. The exhibition called "Mr. Otto Noselong" will continue through tomorrow. Vincent could not attend as he was on stage in Brittany.

Earlier in March, Vincent's wife Karine was the guest of her friend Carla Bruni-Sarkozy for a girls getaway weekend. They flew from Paris to Abidjan with French actresses Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche. Dominique Ouattara, First Lady of the Ivory Coast and President of the Children of Africa Foundation, had organized a charity event on March 11. The foundation aims to raise funds for the construction of three homes for children in need. As well as visiting a home for disadvantaged children, that evening they attended a gala dinner called "Arabian Nights for 1001 Hearts". Note that in the first photo Karine's smart phone has a photo of Iman on the back of it (featured on this web site).
