Description
1 volume in paper folder : color illustrations ; 29 cm, Limited edition of 1,500 copies. Portfolio cover title. "The Future photographed by Stephane Sednaoui"--Inside back cover of portfolio. "Visionaire no. 5, spring 1992 / by Stephen Gan, James Kaliardos, Cecila Dean. Contributors ... Gregory Foley"--Page [3]. Loose sheets of photographs, prints, and prose, all printed on papers of varying color and texture, laid in a stiff paper portfolio with metallic foil stamping, which is in turn placed into a lucite sleeve. Includes "Covering and uncovering fashion's future: the spring 1992 fashion collections" by Bill Cunningham. Includes "The tarot horoscope" by Adeline André and Ruben Toledo, which contains 12 tarot cards (15 x 11 cm). "We imagined the future and doing something that lived up to our name, Visionaire. With this issue, we moved up to 1,500 copies and started experimenting with more expensive materials, like Plexiglas, which had to be bent by hand to make the hard sleeves that held the contents. A die-cut circle on the cover enabled different images to "peek" through, so we delivered issues with different first pages to different stores: a reduced version of Stephane Sednaoui's collaged faces, a Mats Gustafson spiral, a face photographed by Steven Meisel, and a fashion shot by Satoshi Saikusa. All took their turn as part of our cover on bookshelves. The Future was also the first time we used metallic foil stamping on the cover, which is something we've done again and again since then"--Publisher's description.
