My favorite Fashion & Art Book: Visionaire, just released their latest edition: Visionaire 56: Solar in Collaboration with Calvin Klein – This book is a piece of art in itself ! We reviewed a few of their past issues, and will probably do a on review on all their past issues soon… The Visionaire 56 issue is using the latest printing technology, you can enjoy the magazine ONLY in black & white, same for the cover with the all-white embroidery. Now walk outside and expose the issue to direct sunlight… The embroidery cover and all the photography inside transfers into color! One more time an amazing concept by Visionaire.

Some photos from the Jak & Jil Blog of Shoe Gazing (see full review) during New York Fashion Week. They say you are what you wear, and I could agree with that more in reference to one’s shoes. So they have gone forward and profiled the people behind the shoes. I love this idea!
