STATE OF GRACE
I count myself among the many Grace Coddington fans who didn’t even know who she was until watching The September Issue. But I can tell you that I was charmed instantly. So far, just a couple chapters in, I’m equally charmed by her memoir.
Also, I kind of have a crush on the cover.
How Victorian!
This is a really exciting one! Here’s another upcoming release from Race Point Publishing and The Book Shop, Ltd. Anatomy of Steampunk will dissect the subculture that marries fashion and technology, and I can’t wait. The manuscript is still in the works, but the art’s coming together. It’s gonna be a beaut!
Note: These concepts spreads are rough. Keep an eye out for the real deal!
Accessorize!
Here’s a sneak peek at The Art of the Handbag that I’m art directing and designing with The Book Shop, Ltd. for Race Point Publishing. Similar to last season’s Shoegasm, Handbag is a mind-bending collection of purses as art!
Moment of Truth.
A couple of months after book designers release files to print, we get our hands on advance copies. It’s a moment-of-truth situation. No matter how sure you are that the books will be perfect, there’s a little something tugging at you until you can see them in person. You need to have them in your hands to make sure.
Today, when I stopped by The Book Shop, Ltd. office, I was greeted by this trio. So happy! So pleased! They were beautiful! The embossing, the varnishes, the metallic inks! I can’t wait to take my copies home!
Complete Genius.
When the world lost McQueen, we lost a true visionary. This is precisely what drew me to this fantastic project with Race Point Publishing and The Book Shop, Ltd. From the first day of cover concepts and sample spreads, I knew I wanted to go with a decidedly classic, clean and uncluttered aesthetic to let McQueen’s mind-bending creations do the heavy lifting. I wanted to treat the amazing runway images as if they were art pieces on a gallery wall. And let’s face it, McQueen’s gowns shouldn’t be treated as anything but art.
Alexander McQueen: Evolution is due out this Fall. CANNOT WAIT!
Shoes!
This Spring, I had the pleasure of working with Racepoint Publishing and The Book Shop, Ltd. art directing and designing this crazy awesome 160-page volume of some of the most amazing shoes you’ll ever see.
Shoegasm: An Explosion of Cutting Edge Design is out this October.

I’ve been working on this amazing book project for the past couple of months. We’re combining elegant page design with photography of some the most daring fashions of our time. Cannot wait for my samples!!!! Alas, there’s lots more to do before we get there.
