Synopsis

Visionaire started in 1991 as a journal of inspiration, a collection of artwork and images, hand-assembled by a group of friends in a one-room apartment in New York City. Ten years later, it has grown into a highly respected - and highly sought-after - fashion-and-art publication featuring the work of some of the world's greatest imagemakers. Dreaming in Print - A Decade of Visionaire takes an intimate look into the history of this ground-breaking publication and the making of each issue in both images and words. David Bowie, Karl Lagerfeld, and Mario Testino have written a trio of introductions. Other contributors, including Nan Goldin, Nick Knight, Bruce Weber, David Sims, and Craig McDean as well as Visionaire's guest editors Tom Ford and Rei Kawakubo speak candidly about their work, the creative process, and their experiences working with Visionaire. From the acclaimed, best-selling Fashion issue packaged in a Louis Vuitton clutch bag, to the battery-operated Light issue, and the Bible floating in a Philippe Starck case, the story of Visionaire is one about pushing the boundaries of print and transforming fantasy into reality.

Dreaming in Print is not a stopping point for Visionaire, but an opportunity to reflect on the past and to keep on dreaming toward the future.

Store Description

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
