MIKIMOTO Nick Foulkes
Published: 2008
Born to a noodle-maker in a small town in Toba, Japan, Kokichi Mikimoto followed his vision and his passion to become one of the world’s greatest inventors. His creation—the perfect pearl.
Nature forms the lustrous pearl by chance inside the oyster, and throughout history this rare jewel of the sea remained synonymous with mystery, power, and wealth. A young Mikimoto vowed to make its beauty accessible to all and to protect fragile oyster beds that greed so wantonly destroyed. His quest to uncover the pearl’s secrets led to the world’s first cultivated pearl—a feat no man had yet achieved. The name Mikimoto would become tantamount with the pearl around the world.
Today, Kokichi Mikimoto’s goal—that every woman might know the splendor of the pearl—extends to nearly every major city in the world. Heavy in the hand and cool to the touch, the Mikimoto’s pearls remain the ultimate symbol of pure, natural elegance.

MOI, VERONIQUE BRANQUHINO TOUTE NUE Veronique Branquinho
The transition from teenage girl to women is an important theme in Branquinho’s designs, an aspect which is reflected in the sources of inspiration she chooses – David Hamilton’s romantic photography, ambiguous characters like Laura Palmer from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, or Emmanuelle, from the erotic film with the same name. The fashion designer’s collections produced since 1997 are collected together and presented here, accompanied by unique photographic material, and essays from a number of different contributors.

NARCISO RODRIGUEZ Narciso Rodriguez/Betsy Berne
Published:2008
This elegant volume reveals the artist at work in his atelier. Rodriguez takes his inspiration from the life that surrounds him—whether it’s the subtle color of faded paint on a façade, a pattern made by the sand, or the gesture of a young man on a skateboard—and records it in sketchbooks and vivid snapshots. Always experimenting with new textiles and textures, he creates deceptively simple montages—artworks in their own right—that gracefully yield the stunning dresses we see flowing down the runway.

PAPER ILLUSIONS - THE ART OF ISABELLE de BORCHGRAVE Barbara & Rene Stoeltie
Published:2008
Belgian artist and designer Isabelle de Borchgrave has created exquisite paper dresses evoking high fashions from the courts of the Medici in the Renaissance to the legendary Fortuny silks of the early twentieth century.

Since then, "Papiers a la mode", her dynamic, light-hearted collection, has travelled all over the world to critical and popular acclaim. "Paper Illusions" does full justice to De Borchgrave's magical workshop, where paper is cut, folded, and painted on the way to being transformed into shimmering visions of beautiful clothing and luxurious living. In Rene Stoeltie's vivid photographs , figures from the history of style seem to breathe in atmospheric rooms, while details of colour, pattern and form jump off the page.
