(VISIONAIRE). Gan, Stephen, Editor. New York: Visionaire Publishing, 2006. First Edition #2649/3000. Oblong 8vo. Unbound Cards, Boxed. Fashion Quarterly. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. Twenty-five individual 5 ½ x 8 ½" cardstock sheets printed with a lenticular process recto only, housed in a cardboard and plastic box. Published in an edition of three thousand copies, this is the forty-eighth installment of everyone's favorite long-running luxe fashion quarterly. For "Magic", Visionaire invited twenty-five film and video directors, photographers, and artists to explore the "magic of motion". The resulting three-second clips were transformed into this collection of twenty-five cards using the latest in lenticular technology - a process that captures shifting motion when seen from different angles. The contributors include Doug Aitken, Pedro Almodovar, Sofia Coppola, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Framestore, Imaginary Forces, Spike Jonze, Nick Knight, Karl Lagerfeld, Mariko Mori, The Orphanage, Mark Romanek, Peter Saville, Stephane Sednaoui, Mario Sorrenti, Gus Van Sant, Viktor & Rolf, and Wong Kar Wai. "Remove them from the case, which features an 18-karat gold Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra pendant on a silk ribbon, and tilt each one to and fro to watch it move!" Visionaire's own price for this quickly out-of-print back issue is $1,200.00. A brand new, pristine individually numbered example (2649/3000) still in the publisher's shipping carton, as issued. 1-888645-57-1 Inventory Number: 027603
