Carine Roitfeld, stylist, founder and editor-in-chief ofCR Fashion Book, shared that the essence of the upcoming issue “began with Madonna.”

“It was beautiful to witness the special relationship between Steven Klein and her [Madonna] during that night at the cemetery,” she said. “They’re both really hard workers and unstoppable creatives.”

Roitfeld added, “You can have the same model in the same outfit with a different team, and it would be totally different.”

Photos from the shoot include Madonna in gothic, effortlessly stylish looks, staged in a cemetery. The singer approaches a grave in opaque sunglasses and all black — save for a Jean-Paul Gaultier trench coat — with a bouquet of red flowers in hand, before laying on the grave itself.

In an excerpt of her story, published to theCR Fashion Booksite on Feb. 26, Madonna spins her history with an undertone of death — her mother’s death, her fear of her father eventually dying, staging ritualistic burials for her estranged lovers and the draw of other people’s graves.

“A distraught widow, overcome with grief, drives up in a vintage black Cadillac with tinted windows,” reads another excerpt fromFuneral Rites.“There’s a small handgun in her bag, which is open on the seat of the car. She’s a mess. A woman in distress. She lights a cigarette. There are legal papers on the floor.”
