This adventure into fashion follows a milliner's shop on Via Roma, Florence, that went on to become a hugely important international e-shop and concept store.

Over the course of ninety years of history and constant metamorphosis in the world of fashion, LuisaViaRoma has never stopped evolving and embracing new experiments, opening itself up to unexpected and sometimes provocative linguistic and creative forms. This is a story, told through images, of a launching platform directed toward the new and the diverse, in a city devoted to experimentation and artistic thought.

The core of the volume centers on images of LuisaViaRoma's window displays, particularly the contribution of the artist Kyle Bradfield and of the architect Lorenzo Gemma between the 1980s and 1990s during the effervescent period when postmodern Florence served as a laboratory of signs, alchemies, and interpretations of the real. There will also be a focus on Weststuff magazine, which wove together fashion, art, and music, conceived by Andrea Panconesi with Stefano Tonchi and Maria Luisa Frisa. A part of the book will be dedicated to the celebratory fashion show from 2019 conceived by Carine Roitfeld.

The definitive monograph on one of Europe’s most influential creative partnerships, M/M (Paris, to mark their 20th anniversary

Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak formed their studio, M/M (Paris), in 1992. Since then, it has become one of this generation’s most distinctive and influential voices in graphic design.

Originally working for small independent music labels, M/M soon caught the attention of the fashion world, and later developed long-term collaborations with a rich array of iconic artists, art directors and musical artists – most notably, Björk and Madonna. They have also produced unexpected three-dimensional designs for the stage, restaurants and perfume.

Designed by London’s Graphic Thought Facility, this alphabetically organized book ‘starts’ in the middle with the letter ‘M’, presenting projects and interviews with the designers and key collaborators, including Pierre Huyghe, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Philippe Parreno and Nicolas Bourriaud. Presenting the complete range of M/M’s work for the very first time, it offers rich insight into how they have created one of the most original and unified visual languages of our times.

Written by two of the collective’s cofounders, the book features an additional six thematic essays and an archive of every MSCHF artwork to date, together revealing the experimental group’s range and evolution.

Projects include: Big Red Boot, a pair of cartoonishly large rubber boots; Jesus Shoes, their designer-branded sneakers filled with holy water; ATM Leaderboard, an ATM installed at Art Basel Miami Beach that ranked users by bank balance; and Severed Spots, in which they cut out spots from Damien Hirst prints and sold them as individual art works.

Through images both intimate and provocative Erin Magee, founder of MadeMe, presents the first comprehensive monograph of the one of first streetwear brands “by girls for girls.”

MadeMe rose to acclaim during a time when female and queer perspectives were missing from the streetwear landscape. Inspired by the energy of the 1990s when a female-first ethos was actively shaping music, clothing and culture, Magee has fostered the same spirit of enthusiasm for a new generation of it-girls, championing a truly singular and radically instinctive take on femininity.

In the brand’s early days, Magee enlisted the likes of Coco Gordon-Moore (Kim Gordon’s daughter) and Princess Nokia to star in campaigns while mentoring industry heavyweights like Paloma Elsesser, Lourdes Leon, Amandla Stenberg, and Beatrice Domond. The brand's essence is reinforced by these dynamic, emotionally charged interactions with females across generations becoming more of an ecosystem than a brand. The MadeMe girl is radical because she rebels against the concept of who society says she should be, she is defiant because she is true–this feeling is always embodied through the garments she wears and the choices she makes. Communicating through ideas and interests across music, art, fashion, and culture, MadeMe has collaborated with the likes of Doc Martens, Nike, Fruits, Vans, Converse, and X-Girl, translating its youthful design language to like-minded audiences through energetic design codes. Arranged by pure feeling rather than in a traditional chronological order, this publication features an extensive range of voices and talents harnessed by the brand over the years including artwork by musician, Cody Critcheloe (SSION), artists, Ally Bo, Shana Sadeghi-Ray, Aneko, and photographer, Petra Collins.

About the Authors:

Erin Magee is the Chief Creative Officer of Supreme, where she started in 2004.  During her tenure, Magee founded MadeMe, a peerless brand for girls, by girls. Through MadeMe, Magee fosters an active, emotional exchange across generations, through the language of product that fosters selfhood, and singularity. Chioma Nnadi was named head of editorial content for British Vogue in September 2023. Throughout her career Nnadi has worked for publications including the Evening Standard Magazine, Trace, The Fader, and Vogue.com. She also serves as the co-host for the Vogue podcast, The Run-Through.

Legendary dragons, demons, angels, goblins, vampires, merfolk, wizards, and more roam the multiverse.

This collection also offers exclusive insight into the art and mythology behind some of Magic: The Gathering’s most powerful, popular, and enduring legends, including Niv-Mizzet, Emmara Tandris, Marit Lage, Sisay, Atraxa, the Eldrazi titans, Edgar Markov, Queen Marchesa, Zurgo, Pia Nalaar, Zacama, King Algenus Kenrith, Snapdax, and many, many more.

A bold, stylish look at the global rise of Korean culture and style in the words and images of those shaping and living it

K-pop, K-fashion, K-drama, K-beauty: over the last decade, K-style has exploded onto the global scene. What is behind this phenomenon? Where does K-Style go from here? Make, Break, Remix: The Rise of K-Style makes no attempt to define or categorize, instead celebrating the eclectic, multi-faceted nature of K-Style and its home city of Seoul.

Through interviews with eighteen tastemakers who are shaping K-style across creative sectors, from 1Million Studio's Lia Kim to rock band leader Hwang Soyoon, world famous tattooist Doy to Asia’s leading designer Teo Yang, Fiona Bae tells untold stories from true insiders, exploring a sense of identity in their work, how living in Seoul affects them and their creative output, and the decade of changes that has brought about the current K-style. Interwoven with these texts, five distinct photo-essays from celebrated photographer less_TAEKYUN KIM (recent credits including Vogue Korea, GQ Korea, i-D Korea) capture the vibrant energy of Seoul's streets and the incredible style of its youth.

Contributors such as BLACKPINK songwriter and A&R Danny Chung, add their own vital perspectives on the scene, while fashion journalist Sukwoo Hong sits down with brands to watch for his K-fashion directory such as PAF(Post Archive Faction). Designed by Hezin O, with a distinct typography that blends Hangul and Roman writing systems, this is an inventive, genre-breaking look at K-style in the words of those shaping it.

About the Author:

Seoul-raised and London-based, Fiona Bae consults with artists, designers, architects, and cultural institutions through her communications consultancy.

Effective layout is essential to communication and enables the end-user to not only be drawn in with an innovative design, but to digest information easily. Making and Breaking the Grid is a comprehensive layout design workshop that assumes that in order to effectively break the rules of grid-based design, one must first understand those rules and see them applied to real-world projects.

Basics include composing typographic space, format determination, and sequencing and systemization. Various types of grids manuscript, column, modular, hierarchical are also covered.

Text reveals top designers' work in process and rationale. Projects with similar characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison of structure ideas. Each project is shown comprehensively so readers can see its structure revealed over several pages, at a size that allows for inspection of detail.

Also included are historical overviews that summarize the development of layout concepts, both grid-based and non-grid based, in modern design practice.

After moving from Manhattan to Milan 20 years ago, with no job, no friends, and no patience for the Italian way of life, J. J.

Through a playful series of alphabetical vignettes, Manolo Blahník reveals his ideas and inspirations in newly photographed examples of shoes and whimsical drawings.

The shoes of Manolo Blahník have been called “magical totems of success and femininity” (The Guardian) and boast a cult following of devotees the world over. With their sleek elegance and a distinctive fashion edge, “Manolos” are at once fascinating and timeless, their design a beautiful combination of chic, playfulness, and flair.

This book explores the creativity and influences of this modern master through an alphabetical chronicle of the designer’s loves and inspiration. Blahník’s alphabet gives insight into the art and craftsmanship of shoemaking and includes whimsical musings on his relationships with figures such as Anna Piaggi, Loulou de la Falaise, and Diana Vreeland; the inspiration he draws from works by Goya, Zurbarán, Picasso, Barbara Hepworth, and Zaha Hadid; and his admiration for fellow designers such as Azzedine Alaïa, Balenciaga, and Yves Saint Laurent. These highly personal anecdotes — drawn from conversations between Blahník and the author and accompanied by original sketches and new photography — offer the reader a rare opportunity to learn the vision behind the shoes as told by a fashion legend. The book — which will accompany a travelling global exhibition — is introduced by an illustrated essay, which describes the designer’s illustrious forty-five-year career in the fashion industry.

The first publication dedicated to Marc Jacobs’s highly influential creations

Entering fashion history in 1993 with his notorious ‘grunge’ collection for Perry Ellis, Marc Jacobs would soon be hailed by American Vogue as ‘the dauphin of grungy, understated cool’. He quickly rose to become one of the most influential designers of his generation, both at the helm of his own label and as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1998 to 2014.

Known for his collaborations with prominent artists, musicians and muses – from Stephen Sprouse to Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Sofia Coppola and Chloë Sevigny, Marc Jacobs ‘changed what it means to be a fashion designer, just as once upon a time Andy Warhol changed what it meant to be an artist’, fashion historian Valerie Steele once proclaimed. Opening with an essay on the designer’s work, Marc Jacobs: Unseen unfolds chronologically, revisiting the designer’s most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments of models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and Marc Jacobs himself at their most creative. Robert Fairer’s stunning and high-energy photographs capture the youth, glamour and spirit that defined Jacobs’s shows.
