Antwerp's favourite fashion photography and make-up duo, Ronald Stoops and Inge Grognard were instrumental in the international breakthrough of Belgian fashion. Collaborating with some of the country's foremost designers and stylists, the pair made a vital contribution to the early careers of luminaries like Dries van Noten and Martin Margiela; their visceral visual language was then enthusiastically employed by second-wave stars like Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho and Jurgi Persoons. This essential collection of thirty years of seminal European fashion imagery shows every facet of the duo's aesthetic, from austere catwalk experimentalism to equally surprising moments of beauty and humour.

The One Minute Sculptures (1997-2017) was published in conjunction with the 57th Venice Biennale. Presented as a significant set of photographs that embody this overall (and retrospective) concept of ephemeral sculpture, initiated in the late 1980s and also including drawings (instructions) and videos. However, the purpose is very serious: to fundamentally renew sculpture, making it less compartmentalized and full of infinite potentialities, particularly through bodily and psychic malleability. While Erwin Wurm's work is also part of a certain Austrian tradition of performance, it comes with a radically opposite spirit, tinged with irony and humor: the dramatic intensity, notably characteristic of Viennese Actionism, although still present, lies mainly in the threat hanging over these useless arrangements and in the boldness required of those who are willing to embrace all sorts of incongruous objects as prostheses, even at the cost of losing their dignity for a moment.

"'Twenty-seven years old, sign of Pisces': these are the first things Walter Albini tells you about himself, with a smile." This is how Vogue Italia presented Walter Albini in October 1967. It was the beginning: the course of Albini's life was soon to come to an end, in 1983, but in the designer's personal and creative story we can find all the traits that have come to define the phenomenon of Made in Italy. Walter Albini and His Time. All Power to the Imagination looks back to a period that saw the definitive eclipse of the haute couture atelier and the progressive emergence of fashion as a fundamental element in the representation of society. Walter Albini played a leading role in the Italian revolution of ready-to-wear and through extracts from magazines of the period, photographs and original drawings the book captures the central elements of his style: the Gatsby look and the revival of the twenties and thirties proposed with a postmodern attitude; the attention paid to the imagery and settings in which his clothing was presented and which became elements of a lifestyle; the definition of the brand.

1996 first edition, hardcover. Juergen Teller’s photographs have continued to shape and reveal the visual language of a generation. Created against the backdrop of fashion they provide a record, less of its changing faces, than of an underlying sensibility. Reflecting the uncertainty of our times, Teller peels away the conventions of fashion imagery to find beneath the posturing and glitz, pathos and sexual energy. Wether photographing supermodels or pop icons, backstage at the fashion shows, on the streets of Romania or the wilds of the Cornish moors, Teller finds humanity in the mortality of galmour and beauty in the brokien image.
