Visionaire 26: Fantasy
by Visionaire Publishing
Category: Costume design

"Fantasy is the subtext of every issue of Visionaire, but with this issue we pushed the boundaries to the fantastical. A round box housed round, unbound artwork. Each of the cover elements-photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin-was produced exclusively for FANTASY: The dress was designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga, Viktor & Rolf made the banner, and Jeremy Scott created the gold porcelain doll's head and hands. It was the first issue time we published Tim Burton, Gregory Crewdson, and Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas and there was a special section curated by Isabella Blow featuring, among others, David LaChapelle, Mariko Mori, and Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Each issue included an Hermes mask that many wore to the masquerade ball launch party." -- Publisher's website.
