Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the one book you should read right now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Saturday, we will introduce books selected by Shelf (3-7-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), a Harajuku bookstore that specializes in foreign books.



■'Fashion Artists 25 Years' Viktor & Rolf

An exhibition catalogue that surveys the 25 years of VIKTOR & ROLF, a fashion brand based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with photographs by Tim Walker, Nick Knight, Andreas Gursky, Herb Ritts, Mert & Marcus, Inez & Vinoodh, and others.

Over their quarter-century career together, Dutch design duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have carved out a remarkable identity that pushes the boundaries of art and fashion. Contrasting romance and rebellion, excitement and restraint, classicism and conceptualism, they have created some of the most luxurious imagery of our time.

This expansive book showcases some of their breathtaking, innovative work exploring the concept of "wearable art." It also features an exclusive interview with Thierry-Maxime Rollitt, plus a wealth of images by contemporary artists and photographers.




The exhibition "VIKTOR&ROLF: FASHION ARTISTS 25 YEARS" is being held at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam, Netherlands, until September 30th.
