The World's Finest Fashion Photography
We are dedicated to fashion and culture photography, a distinctively refined, on-the-pulse and stylish worldview.
Our Story
Founded in February 2018 in New York by Marie Audier d’Alessandris, The Selects Gallery is the premier online destination for limited-edition art photography by the world’s best fashion photographers. Born from a deep appreciation of the artistry and craft behind fashion photography, the gallery was created to give new life to extraordinary images, often archived after their first appearance.
Our exclusive curation revives hundreds of striking photographs drawn from the archives of renowned artists whose works have graced the pages of major international magazines.
Unearthing Beauty, Sharing Legacy
With the major shifts in the media world, we will all soon be nostalgic about that incredible creative talent that was bubbling on a set and populated major glossies.
The Selects Gallery’s mission is to create a platform dedicated to Fashion photography to discover, learn and acquire the works of renowned international photographers.
We comb through the archives of the most iconic past and present beauty and fashion photographers to unearth their hidden gems. We leverage the power of online and offline media to share their story, artistic approach and point of view on society with a wider audience.
Fine Art Quality Print
At The Selects Gallery, every photograph is a limited-edition piece, created in close partnership with artists and estates to ensure authenticity and market value. Each artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, and we offer archival quality prints produced by renowned fine art photography printing houses under the supervision of the photographers or their estates.
Our museum-quality mounting and framing options include Dibond, Acrylic, Classic Frame, Classic Frame with Mat, and Shadow Box, all crafted to enhance the beauty and longevity of the artwork. Each frame is custom-made and assembled by hand in the US using FSC® and PEFC® certified materials, with high-quality hanging solutions to ensure your art is displayed with the utmost care and sophistication.
All photographs sold at The Selects Gallery are strictly limited in edition size. They are available until sold out and never reproduced again. We work in close partnership with the artists and estates as a primary market gallery. In many cases we are their exclusive gallery. We therefore control the provenance of each artwork to ensure market value.
The Certificate of Authenticity is a document that certifies that the sold artwork is an authentic creation by the artist and will include the edition number. In most cases, the certificate of authenticity will come separately from the mounted piece. Expertly Crafted Quality.
We partner with one of the fine art photography printing house with the longest history and connection to the photography world, and print under the supervision of the photographers and/or their estate. We select high end papers for their optimal rendering based on the image and mounting choice. In some cases, the print is shipped directly by the estate or the artist, and they select the printing house and paper.
Prints are professionally mounted on High grade acrylic, aluminum clad panels or foamcore. Every frame is made to measure and assembled by hand in the US. We use the US manufacturer Larson-Juhl for our custom size wood frames, which are FSC® and PEFC® certified.
Founder & Curator of The Selects Gallery

Her distinguished career includes roles as Senior VP of Global & North America Marketing for Coach, Inc., Global Brand President at Philosophy, and various senior marketing positions at L'Oréal across France and the U.S. Working with some of the most talented photographers and creative teams, Marie witnessed many extraordinary images being archived after short-lived use.

A global citizen at heart, Marie has lived in Colombia, speaks multiple languages, and now resides in New York City with her husband and two sons. Naturally, her passion for photography transcends borders: she works with exceptionally talented artists from America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, reflecting her belief that the power of imagery is universal.

Preserving Art, Respecting the Earth
The Selects Gallery strives to practice better sustainability through our manufacturing; from on-demand production, and ground shipping, to the paper we print on and the wood we use for framing. We believe that quality is a great way to be sustainable.
Each piece from the gallery is made to order, this ensures that resources are employed only when there is absolute demand from customers. When practicing on-demand production there is no room for waste and consumer demand is always met exactly.
Our art papers, Canson and Hahnemühle, are sustainably produced and eco-friendly. Hahnemühle paper is 100% vegan, made with renewable energy, and consists of FSC/PEFC-certified fibers, with recycled packaging materials. Canson paper supports sustainable forest management, using wood fibers from non-threatened forests, 70% from forest thinnings and 30% from sawmill offcuts.
We also use Larson-Juhl wood to create our frames. Larson-Juhl wood is FSC® and PEFC certified; this means their wood comes from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
We use is archival Epson T800, which comes in recyclable packaging and cartridges. In 2020, Epson was named on the CDP's prestigious A List, attaining the highest scores for the categories of climate change and water security.
The framer we work with uses 100% recycled packaging materials and we exclusively use ground transportation. The Selects Gallery consistently looks to progress in our quest for sustainability and holds great respect and appreciation for our environment.
