Southern Italian Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy, is the curator for the current issue of Visionaire taking on the theme of religion as seen through the eyes of art and fashion. Each issue of Visionaire invites a guest editor on board to explore their personal interpretation of a theme through collaborations and commissions, with freedom to develop the publications format. Previous editions have comprised of a set of 12″ records, a series of children’s books or come in a specially designed Louis Vuitton portfolio case. Always a limited edition, Religion (issue 60) is a leather bound collection of black & white provocative images, complete with a case inspired by a church altar piece. Contributors to this issue include Robert Maplethorpe, Jefferson Hack, Jamie Bochert, Karl Largerfeld and Patti Smith. The designer approached the project by excluding fashion credits from the book so that stylists, photographers and artists involved would be free of the industry’s commercial constraints or practice of pleasing the client.
