In the same series as her bestselling title Visionary Women, published by Assouline in 2015,
author Angella Nazarian continues to chart the lives of inspiring and ground-breaking
personalities, this time with a focus on couples. Doing a deep-dive into the stories of fifteen
couples who motivate one another, work together, and change lives as a team, Nazarian
explores the various forms a couple can take, and how differently they can operate, from living
on separate continents to being artistic collaborators. Ranging from the iconic Parisian couple that
is Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, to the mysterious Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe, Creative
Couples is an insightful journey into the most intimate moments in the relationships of legendary
painters, filmmakers, philosophers, and even the Queen. Each text takes into account the history
of both halves of the pair, how they impact each other’s work, and what makes them stronger
together. As the book traverses historical milestones and cultural change, be it in France, Chile,
or Japan, it consistently returns to the importance of strong duos and how two people and their
individual talents merging can be incredibly powerful. Nazarian tells fifteen timeless tales with
impeccable attention to detail, and manages to weave singular lifestyles, from that of Lou Reed
to Prince Philip’s, with the thread of the inimitable bond between two human beings.
