High Price

The new issue of Visionaire, a multi-format album of fashion & art  made exclusively in limited editions only. Published 3 times per year this is a collectors dream. Visionaire explores various themes along with innovative formats with every new issue.  Artists collaborate with Visionaire to achieve amazing Art moments.  Collaborators  are given unparalleled freedom to push Visionaire's original formats taking them to the next level.   I am really excited about the current  guest- editor  Riccardo Tisci, he is the creative director for the Givenchy label right now and he's rumored to be the chosen designer to continue as the head of the house of Dior.   Riccardo chose "religion" as its theme, fashion-worship, to be specific and has given us a great moment in Art and I will forever want it, and I say want it because I could never justify paying the high price.

Tisci convinced a few of his fashion pals to get to work for him  here we see Carine Roitfeld, for one, who let Karl Lagerfeld photograph her with lace over her mouth, there are reenactments of  various biblical scenes for photo spreads. Giovanna Battaglia styled Tisci's  muse Let T as a martyr , and  Lara Stone got lashed to a burning cross and photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Finally, Tisci's own portrait shows him suckling at the breast of performance artist Marina Abramovic. This whole book comes bundled up in a wooden box, meant to evoke an altarpiece, and costs $495!!! Would you buy it for me?

Glam Chameleon

In the new book David Bowie: Any Day Now we can take a look into the magic of this iconic legend. The book documents a chronology of Bowie's first 27 years.

This Adelita book by Kevin Cann features new clippings, set lists, posters of his early bands and many photos revealing his transformation from schoolboy to outer space Glam Star.

There are some special hardcover editions that are extra special.  The book features over 500 photos and a lot of them never seen before!

We have been lucky to see David Bowie live. He's amazing and his hair is amazing. His always makes a fashion statement and he will forever and always be one of my biggest inspirations.
