New York Look, Spring 2008, Premier Issue by Pellegrin, Paolo - 2007

New York: New York Magazine, 2007. Magazine. First edition. Fine, almost as new, magazine with a tiny crease at one corner. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. The first issue of New York Magazine's Look, "A New Magazine Fresh Off the Runway," labeled Spring 2008, but published on November 21, 2007. "In one sense, this is a fashion magazine. In another, it’s a chronicle of an event—or rather, a sequence of events—known as the collections, a biannual happening fascinating enough to merit obsessive coverage of its own. For nearly 35 days, from the beginning of September to the middle of October, across three major cities (four, if you count London), designers promenade their spring collections in a total of 397 meticulously planned theatrical shows." Almost the entire issue was photographed by Magnum-member Paolo Pellegrin, with a large portfolio of images on Fashion Week as well as photos sprinkled throughout. Includes articles on: Proenza Schouler; a seating chart for the Dior show; Marc Jacobs; Roberto Cavalli; Alber Elbaz; Five Models Stirring Up the Runways; Fashion Week by the Numbers; Pat McGrath's spring makeup; What to Know About London; the New York parties; floral prints; very short shorts; crayola colored cocktail dresses; Narciso Rodriguez; Donatella Versace; the Mulleavy sisters; Olivier Theyskens at Nina Ricci; Ralph Lauren's dinner party in Central Park; Roberto Cavalli; Michael Kors; Calvin Klein; Anna Wintour and Roger Federer; and much more. Perfect-bound; 176 pages; color throughout; 9 x 11 inches.
