The Visionary Beauty of VISIONAIRE
So you love Fashion Magazines and you love those costly art tomes (so big you could add legs and use it like a coffee table a la Kramer). Visionaire is the marriage of those two things but somehow a little bit more. Each copy is sort of an art piece in itself. You would definitely NOT leave a copy of Visionaire out on your coffee table. If a guest or relative spilt coffee on it you would kill them.
The best way to describe Visionaire:
'...the couture version of a magazine..' W Magazine
A years subscription (4 books) will set you back $675. If you think of it as an investment in art the price tag starts to make more sense. Each issue is made to a limited number of copies and both of the McQueen tributes are already sold out with only a handful of copies on ebay.
