Unified Message
The project 'Unified Message' is based on a collaborative process. In a first step recent images of photographers Alexei Hay, Paolo Roversi and Peter Lindbergh were carefully selected, summing up to a chronicle of the latest fashion iconography. These images had been produced without exception for fashion magazines and in this sense reference the seasonal ideal of the 'new'. Simultaneously these images give an overview over the current visual strategies of the respective image makers. The second step involved the illustrators Francois Berthoud, Mats Gustafson and Ruben Toledo. They were asked to enlarge the gathered image information, to comment, to better, to push with work of their own - existing and new. What came about is a dialogue shifted in time, a commentary on the absolute Now of fashion language, a reflection on the dynamics of the fashion system.
Horst P. Horst: Cy Twombly
A legendary portraitist depicts a master abstractionist at his majestic Roman palazzo Horst P. Horst (1906-99) possessed a deep understanding of architecture, having studied it in Hamburg and apprenticed with Le Corbusier in Paris. Horst later designed his own house on Long Island, and from the 1960s to the '80s he photographed the luxurious homes of style icons throughout the world. One of the most striking of these shoots took place in 1966 at the Roman palazzo of seminal artist Cy Twombly. The home that Twombly and his wife Tatiana Franchetti created on Via di Monserrato was a seamless blend of art and life, and Horst deftly captured its atmosphere of raw elegance: some rooms appear stark...
Big Time: the Legendary Style of Männer Vogue, 1984-1989
This book is an exciting step back in time to when Männer Vogue was Germany's leading men's fashion magazine. During Männer Vogue's golden age between 1984 and 1989, Swiss-born Beda Achermann was the magazine's creative director and left his iconic style on a generation of graphic designers, typographers, photographers, fashion journalists and stylists. Commissioning young photographers like Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth and Max Vadukul, along with established talents including Herb Ritts, Peter Lindbergh and Helmut Newton, Achermann set a new benchmark in fashion editorial. Big Time is a retrospective of Achermann's groundbreaking work for Männer Vogue, showing the magazine's best spreads which have lost none of their modernity and flair. The book comprises three chapters--Big Style (fashion), Big Shots (features and portraits) and Big Bang (portfolios)--which together recreate a unique period in fashion history when international glamour was made in Germany.
