The Visionaire Collection Goyard Trunk

visionairetrunk2

Visionaire, the boutique publisher of multi-format art and fashion “albums,” has released its first fifty issues as a single collection big enough to fill a Goyard trunk. As it happens, this particular Goyard trunk opens into a chiffonier, and each issue can be stored snugly in its own shelf, slot, compartment or pouch. For Visionaire, who specialize in a sort of art couture, packaging their library in a piece of designer luggage makes perfect sense. Á bon vin, point d’enseigne, as they say.

Each limited-edition issue is a miscegenation of art and fashion. Included in the collection is Issue #44 (Toys), a set of five Japanese-inspired baubles done by designers like Versace and Valentino. Then there’s #47 (Taste), a collaboration with IFF, which comprises a dozen or so “flavor-strips” of outrageous variety. And let’s not forget #24 (Light), a series of large-format transparencies—including work by Andreas Gursky and Christopher Bucklow—viewable via a portable light-box carrying-case. The bad news is each trunk is priced like a Tuscan villa; the good news is that the Visionaire collection contains so much designer chic that you’ll never have to fly to Italy again.
