the aptly named meta-magazine, visionaire is a limited edition experimental art and fashion publication that has had 3 annual issues ever since 1991.

each issue is vastly different:

– issue no. 44 consists of two sets of toys made to resemble fashion designers

– no. 18 comes with its own especially designed louis vuitton case and is said to be the most sought after issue

– no. 42 is a series of vials containing especially commissioned scents

– no. 53 is 12 vinyls that come with their own mini clubman players and include over 100 original sound pieces

– no. 59, the latest release, is a collection of children’s books presented by inez van lamsweerde  & vinoodh matadi

– no. 55 is a caseful of pop-up books!

you can browse the full list on their website.

here‘s cecilia dean, one of the co-founders and editors, talking about visionaire at art basel miami. check out the toy drawing set!

as most of us do not have excess funds burning holes in our pockets, visionaire has a pair of affordable spinoffs: v and vman.

i recommend one of my favourite features of v.com: they have a blog-style feed that includes the look of the week, chosen from cecilia’s balenciaga and margiela heavy wardrobe. sigh!
