Visionaire

Visionaire

An art and fashion publication that has come out in limited, numbered editions three times a year since Spring of 1991. Each issue has a specific format and theme around which prominent artists, designers, photographers, and others guest edit the publication. "The New Yorker" called it a "gallery in print" Fact|date=February 2007 and "W" called it "the couture version of a magazine." Fact|date=February 2007

Visionaire also has a monthly, wide-circulation magazine called "V", edited by Stephen Gan and Christopher Bollen, the focus of which is art, culture, and fashion. Contributors include Tama Janowitz, Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, and Karl Lagerfeld. Interview subjects have included Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, and Norman Mailer.

In Fall 2003, Visionaire began publishing yet another magazine, titled Vman, which aims specifically at the male audience. Its covers feature celebrity personalities such as Ryan Gosling, Josh Hartnett, Hayden Christensen, and David Beckham. Vman magazine is published biannually.

The magazine is sold at a starting price of $175 (£120) per issue. However, collectors are said to pay up to $5000 (£3,500) for hard-to-find issues such as No. 18, which came in its own Louis Vuitton portfolio case.

In December of 2007, Visionaire released an issue named Visionaire 53: Sound which comprises five 12" records featuring contributions from over 100 artists including David Byrne, U2, Michael Stipe, Courtney Love, Laurie Anderson, Cat Power, Adrock, Lee Ranaldo, Antony & the Johnsons, Thurston Moore & Kim Gordon, Malcolm McLaren, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian, Andrew W.K., Danger Mouse, Yoko Ono, Cerith Wyn Evans, Helmut Lang, Christian Marclay, Doug Aitken, Robert Wilson, Gary Hill, Sylvie Fleury, Vito Acconci, Mariko Mori, Carl Michael Von Hausswolff, The Knife, Littl'ans, UNKLE, Animal Collective, SunnO))), Gang Gang Dance, DJ Spooky, Miss Kittin, Trevor Jackson, Towa Tei, Nigo, Hiroshi Fujiwara, as well as fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen, and Stefano Pilati, and many others.
