"2 TRAVEL can be seen as a cross between National Geographic, a children's book (The Little Prince comes to mind), and a fashion magazine. Studying Mats Gustafson's Istanbul watercolors and Juan Botas's Spanish bullfight, we were reminded how one can find the romance of a faraway land, mythical or real, so alluring. Mats Gustafson, Bruce Weber, Kenny Scharf, Serge Lutens, and Todd Oldham appear in Visionaire for the very first time. The designer Isabel Toledo (who is also the wife of contributor Ruben Toledo) insisted on tying up each individual issue with black thread that mimicked the string Ruben had drawn around the sun on the cover. The Washington Post called it “paper and ink as performance art." -- publsiher's website https://visionaireworld.com
