This exquisitely produced book features intimate portraits of a young and unknown Kate Moss, captured in the early 1990s by her then boyfriend, the Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. Seen by Calvin Klein, these photographs gave rise to the famous Obsession campaign, which catapulted Moss to international stardom. Sumptuously reproduced in tritone, 'Kate' is an impressive photographic portfolio of one of the most iconic figures in contemporary culture. It includes an introductory essay by Sorrenti, which situates the work in its unique personal context. This book, celebrating the beginning of two legendary careers and the emergence of the influential aesthetic of fashion photography of the 90s, is a must-have for Kate Moss fans, fashion devotees and lovers of traditional portrait and fashion photography.

Vincent Van Duysen: Private explores the inspirations and designs of Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, focusing on his own homes as his creative laboratories. With photographs by François Halard, the book combines his unique approach to tactile materials and minimalist aesthetics with a personal vision of his architecture. It highlights his global influence on design, including projects with Zara Home and Molteni&C.

“If I had not become an architect, I would have become a photographer,” says Vincent Van Duysen, explaining the origin of this special edition, presented in a single box, containing three volumes. These books feature a series of previously unpublished photographs taken and selected by the renowned architect and designer, where his personal memories are brought to life and which demonstrate his visual intuition. It is a deep personal journey for Van Duysen and offers a more intimate vision of his life, over the last twenty years. This creative journey also includes his favourite images related to his beloved sausage dogs, which are among his most beloved companions. The special edition also includes a book of his two homes, a source of inspiration and true design laboratories, photographed by Francois Halard.

The Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen has been creating sublime and nuanced works for over three decades, with a minimalist approach that does not go unnoticed. This monograph compiles his complete works from 1989-2009, including his residential, commercial and office space architectural design, as well as furniture and decorative objects designed for renowned international manufacturers such as B&B Italia, Poliform and Swarovski. With over thirty projects presented in luxurious detail, each one accompanied by his commentary - many of them also include photos taken by photographer Alberto Piovano - and a complete chronology of the project.
