Biography
Marielle Warin was born in Vernon, France in 1941. Her Jewish family was forced to leave occupied France for England. As a teenager she studied drawing before working as a model in London and Paris (1960–1966) under the name Marielle Hadengue. She also became interested in photography, taking shots of her model colleagues. In 1970, she finally decided to spend all her time on photography rather than modelling, adopting Sarah Moon as her new name.{{citation |url=http://www.ykone.com/photographes/sarah-moon |title=Sarah Moon |publisher=Ykone |language=French |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202233311/http://www.ykone.com/photographes/sarah-moon |archivedate=December 2, 2013}} She successfully captured the fashionable atmosphere of London after the "swinging sixties", working closely with Barbara Hulanicki, who had launched the popular clothes store Biba.[http://www.professionalphotographer.co.uk/Magazine/Legends/Profiles/Sarah-Moon-Profile Pete Silverton, "Sarah Moon Profile"], Professional Photographer. Retrieved 28 March 2013.
In 1972, she shot the Pirelli calendar, the first woman to do so. After working for a long time with Cacharel, her reputation grew and she also received commissions from Chanel, Dior, Comme des Garçons and Vogue. Since 1985, Moon has moved into gallery work and even started developing her own films including Circuss (2002) and Le Fil Rouge (2006). She later directed the music video for Khaled's pop hit Aïcha.
