Visionaire #60, "Religion"... Want...

Visionaire #60 by Ricardo Tisci

  For those of you who don't know, Visionaire Magazine is an Art and Fashion Magazine, that comes out 3 times a year. It features unique designs collaborated on by that issues editor, usually a well placed person at a fashion or luxury goods company. Memorable issues for me would be the extremely rare #18 Louis Vuitton portfolio issue called Fashion, or #24 issue called Light, which was a series of slides in a Tom Ford designed black laquer light box. Well, issue #60 is called Religion, and was edited by Ricardo Tisci, in collaboration with Givenchy, and is available for pre-order now!

Lea T. in Visionaire #60

  Religion feature fashion "Saints" such as Carine Roitfeld, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, or Givenchy house model Lea T. shot as a veiled martyr styled by Giovanna Battaglia, and shot by Pierpaolo Ferrari. The issue has an asking price of $425, which is nearly $200 above it's usual starting price. Howevere it is not uncommon for issues, especially coveted ones such as the LV, or Tom Ford ones to run upwards of $5000! I would think of it as an investment and jump on the pre-order list at VisionaireWorld.com... I have a feeling the way Tisci's career is moving, and all of the talent featured in this issue, it's gonna sell out, and be on the list of coveted issues! So, now you know!

She Is Doing A Lot Of Freelace...

  As word spread back in January, that Carine Roitfeld was free of her post at Paris Vogue, people immediately started speculating on what she would do next. Well, so far she will have worked with Tom Ford on his eponymous line, she will have started her own magazine, and also opened a branch of Harper's Bazaar in Paris, she HAS actually consulted with Barney's NY on their fall campaign, (the only one of the above that is true...) among many, many other stories. Now Mme. Roitfeld is going to be launching her own clothing line... This is actually the one I have been expecting, and actually hoping for!
  According to the pic tweeted by an Amber Atherton, she has already produced garments with "Carine Roitfeld" labels! Now, this is the ONLY anyone in the industry has seen, and 1 tweet, does not a true story make. However, if this is true... Let's all pray there is a menswear line!!! Please, let there be a menswear line!!! PLEASE!
