Reviews

"It is best to start with facts. Visionaire is one of the most extravagant and exquisite books of its genre, not a book in search of the traditional or pedestrian, a testament to both authors in terms of the legacy they will leave behind and to their brilliance as visionaries, and lastly the absolute apotheosis of coffee table books. Despite all odds Dean and Kaliardos remain superstars of the print media."
New York Journal of Books

"Twenty-five years and 65 issues later, Visionaire is now known for publishing in countless experimental forms. The magazines new book Visionaire: Experiences in Art and Fashion, a collection of over 1,000 photographs, is out today from Rizzoli."
New York Magazine

"Edited by Cecilia Dean and James Kaliardos, Visionaire is less a publication than a theory about what art can do when it thinks its fashion, and what fashion can do when it thinks its art, tested across media on an increasingly ambitious scale since the early 1990s."
