"Visionaire 60" by Riccardo Tisci

Riccardo Tisci has collaborated with Visionaire on his 60th issue. The topic is Tisci's favorite: the religion. Tisci curated the entire issue, all the works are commissioned projects except two photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. The fashion designer's one stipulation to his collaborators: no Givenchy credits. In this leather limited-edition issue there are Karl Lagerfeld and Paolo Canevari's contributions.

Balmain Goodbye

It's now official: Christophe Decarnin leaves Balmain. The French designer, who became the creative director at the fashion house in 2007 masterminded its success with a mix of rock-chic beloved by French media, particularly by Vogue's ex editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld; has decided to leave the fashion world. The parting of the ways between Balmain and Decarnin was expected: the designer was not at the f/w 2011-2012 fashion show as the result of a serious episode of depression. It seems that a designer from the in-house team will take his place, while Melanie Ward's styling has been reconfirmed.
