  1. I am surprised that I am totally unfamiliar with it. I worked at Hearst in NYC at the time and, I thought, bought all art magazines.

    But, then again, until recently a book I that has been sitting on my bookshelf for 10+ years, I just realized Ivan did the photography! I have to write him about this as it is a good story how I came into possession of the book.

    LOVE the format, btw.

  2. hi bruce,

    i carried around these tattered old copies for years, changing countries and homes.

    the beauty was in the format, the talent, and of course the lack of technology.

    funny that...

    i look forward to hearing the ivan story.

    we are two degrees of separation these days, not six.

  4. dear ivan

    i remembering searching high and low all over

    london until i found shoes such as these!

    such was the power of this photography.

    like cinema

    one wanted to become the character of it all.

    of course I.D. magazine came along and Nick

    Knight and all those stylist set a whole new

    visual in motion. . .

    but nothing really could compare to this

    format.

    spare and beautiful.
