Stephen Gan Ordre des livres

From a first encounter near Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to a picture-perfect moment in front of a Reykjavik midnight dawn, these two young dreamers have created a collection of photographic meetings that span one year and the entire globe. In 14 different destinations, dictated by their vastly different careers, they discovered a landscape far greater than either traveler had known on his own. Theirs is a universal quest in our increasingly jet-propelled and wired age: to see the world clearly in the brief moment we are given on earth, and to share those insights with another.

Fashion Images de Mode is fashion's visual memory. It collects the very best fashion images of 1997 taken by the very best photographers. With a pertinent introduction by fashion guru Stephen Gan, Fashion Images de Mode No. 3 takes off by examining the recent phenomenon of British supremacy in art direction, photography, and fashion with an, A to Z of London's wildest. Other tests include an examination of sex and violence in fashion imagery and the related boom in Japanese "school girl" photography. The worlds of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindoodh Matadin are explored by art critic Benjamin Weil; cutting edge fashion illustration make its debut in the book with a much anticipated twenty-four page portfolio; and the most brilliant fashion photographers edit their own work.
