Catalogue Essay Rei Kawakubo and Comme des Garcons had always been an inspiration to us, so it seemed only appropriate that with this issue, Rei became our very first guest editor. To strike up our ‘dialogue’ with her, we conceived the issue as a ‘visual interview.’ From the beginning, she expressed a desire to see really strong fashion photography, and opened up her archives and chose her favourite pieces for select photographers to reinterpret…at Rei’s request, Nick Knight mixed Comme des Garcons with Alexander McQueen and created what turned out to be one of the most reproduced Visionaire images ever and one of Visionaire’s most successful and fastest selling editions. www.visionaireworld.com Contributors include: Bruce Weber Peter Lindbergh, Karl Lagerfeld Inez van Lamsweerde Vinoodh Matadin Nick Knight, Alexander McQueen Martin Margiela Craig McDean & M/M, Mario Sorrenti, Philip-Lorca diCorcia Paolo Roversi and Steven Klein.
