​Women of Character: Marie-Agnès Gillot

Go behind the lens of our October journal, where we're spotlighting women who've captivated us with their achievements and ambitions. We've found inspiration in their work, their passions and the examples they set every day, including prima ballerina of the Paris Opera Ballet and choreographer Marie-Agnès Gillot. After a diagnoses of double-scoliosis at age 12, Marie-Agnès spent 21 hours a day in a restrictive surgical corset for several years. However, through a compelling combination of agile beauty and unyielding determination, she continued to dance and today, Marie-Agnès mesmerizes audiences around the world with her exquisite work en pointe.

Anche da questi stralci si intuisce la passione per la danza che poi porta a quell'impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito
È solo da immaginare il grande lavoro che sottende a questa impressione. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. MOLTO CAPACE LA BALLERINA.

this would have been a better commercial for vogue than that stupid Kendall Jenner one

[@1thaleb]

F kendall Jenner - shs is inconsequential and should not appear in the same sentence as Gillot who is, for me, a heaven-sent gift of God.

Music is so loud, I cannot hear what she is saying - and there is no closed captioning!
