Visionaire is a “multi-format album of fashion and art” published 3 times a year in limited numbers. Each issue has a different theme and format, and the lastest issue, n.º 55, made in collaboration with House of Krug (the creators of Cuvèe champagne) is entitled “Surprise”, because this issue is devoted to pop-ups. Visionaire produced this issue with intricate pop-ups by a selection of contemporary artists and designers like Sophie Calle, Andreas Gursky, Cai Guo-Qiang, Steven Klein, Yayoi Kusama, Alasdair McLellan, Steven Meisel, Guido Mocafico, Nicola Formichetti/Gareth Pugh, Sølve Sundsbø, and Mario Testino.

The pop-ups come encased in a dark purple cloth-covered case with a magnetized closure and engraved metal plaque. Visionaire N° 55 is printed in a limited edition of 4000 copies with a price of 250$ each.

This month sees iconic fashion photographer Steven Meisel present a dogging inspired shoot in V magazine. Featuring models Anna Selezneva, Daul Kim, Iris Strubegger, and Naty Chabanenko, Italian Vogue reportedly turned down the explicit images, but interestingly the American mag snatched them up.

Kate’s Not Too Happy With Vanity

A couple of days ago we featured Kate Winslet’s spread in Vanity Fair. Everything turned out great, but Ms. Winslet seems to have some personal issues with the picture above. Word has it when Steven Meisel was shooting Kate she was told that the fur throw pictured above was fake fur. Well, you can imagined how angry she was when she found out that wasn’t true.

“Although there were both real and fake furs on set, the fur used in the photograph is real. We thought Ms. Winslet was aware of this, and we’re sorry for the miscommunication.”

Feature Photographer: Steven Meisel For Vogue Italy

Vogue Italy asked acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel to “do something crazy” for their next issue.  The result: Total sensory overload. The shoot, called “Vogue Patterns,” is just that: Layers and layers of patterns. Explosions of colors and shapes.

Thanks Jezebel.

Indies to Watch: Taylor Fuchs

What is not to love about the 21-year-old model on the rise? Taylor Fuchs is a volleyball playing, Saskatchewan native who was plucked off of the college court and signed by Public Image Worldwide in 2007. His chiseled jaw line, dreamy blue eyes, mysterious arched eyebrows and delicate pouty lips landed him a Steven Meisel ad for Pringle of Scotland and even coveted spots in Marc by Marc Jacobs and DKNY in 2007 New York Fashion Week. Recently, Fuchs made an editorial debut in Detail, photographed by Thomas Schenk, and made a leap from Public Image Worldwide to Wilhelmina Models. Fuchs will most likely walk several big name shows during this New York Fashion Week. So what if he looks like Peter Pan? Go ahead Mr. Fuchs, take me to Neverland.
