Francis Wolf: Jamie Bochert + Michael Pitt in concert at Le Carmen in Paris Photos by Stephan Moskovic
It is hard to tear a stylish crowd away from shows in the middle of Paris fashion week, but if anyone can grab their attention it is Jamie Bochert. Saturday night at Le Carmen, Bochert and boyfriend Michael Pitt staged an intimate performance of their band, Francis Wolf. With Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Isabeli Fontana, Viktor & Rolf, Natasha Poly and many more in the audience, the duo rocked out with a series of haunting songs complete with a string section and video installation. Not exactly dance music, as Bouchert, quipped during the playful performance, but certainly mesmerizing and soulful tunes that kept the audience enthralled all through the night up to the intense Michael Pitt guitar and amplifier smashing finale.
Isabeli Bergossi Fontana is a Brazilian model. Fontana was born in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. In 1996 she made it to the finals of the Elite Model Look Contest when she was just 13. The following year she moved from Southern Brazil to Milan, Italy, to start her modelling career. In 1999, at the age of 16, she appeared in the Victoria's Secret lingerie catalogue. This created a huge controversy as Victoria's Secret had earlier stated that its policy was not to sign models younger than 21 years old. However, the publicity generated by this proved beneficial to Fontana and she quickly rose to fame. Soon after the Victoria's Secret shoot, she was signed by Versace, Ralph Lauren and Valentino. She has modelled for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Marie Claire, ELLE and Vogue.
