Visionaire proudly presents an exclusive portfolio designed by the man whose vision brought the house of Gucci to the heights of glamour and prestige yet again, Tom Ford.

Visionaire teams up with fashion luminary Tom Ford and Gucci on an issue devoted to the theme 24 LIGHT. Visionaire and Ford attempted to steer clear of fashion and to focus on what we considered to be fine art images.

LIGHT introduced a new cast of contributors to the Visionaire fold: artists such as Sam Taylor-Wood, Andreas Gursky, and Christopher Bucklow, art director Peter Saville, animator Hayao Miyazaki, and architect Toyo Ito. Then there was the issue itself. We sourced state-of-the-art, paper-thin filament that would literally light up the issues.

The end result: twenty-four large-format transparencies self-contained in a super-sleek, fully-functional light box – the first battery – operated publication!
