Face-off: Paris Vs. New York

Paris Versus New York is a collection of witty, minimalist side-by-side-comparisons of these two great cities. It is the work of Paris-based designer Vahram Muratyan, whose credits include Prada, Hermes, and Lancôme, to name a few. Go to his site for more Paris Vs. New York and to check out his other work.

Thanks, Amela, for going to Paris and bringing the book back for us all to see. I just ordered my own copy, which I know I'll be consulting when the inspiration for visual distillation is needed.

The Arts Covers of Paris Vogue

Alfred Hitchcock

December 1974-January 1975

During the 1970s, 80s and 90s Paris Vogue used to publish an issue for December/January and devote the cover to the arts--film, music, dance, painting. I'm struck by how distinctive any non-fashion cover is for Vogue.

December 1971-December 1972

Fellini

December 1972-December 1973

Joan Miro

December 1979-December 1980

Andy Warhol

December 1983-January 1984

Franco Zefferelli

December 1984-January 1985

David Hockney

December 1985-January 1986

Baryshnikov

December 1986-January 1987

Kurosawa

December 1988-January 1989

Note to subscribers: If you subscribe to ALL MY EYES via email, then the other day you received five posts at once. That was not intentional. In the last few months, it seems that when I paste text from Microsoft Word into Blogger, some very nasty code comes along with it and disables recognition by FeedBurner, which updates feeds and emails new posts. All subsequent posts are also disabled. Removing the code and updating the post doesn't fix the glitch. So I reposted all the offensive entries and dated them with when they were originally posted. I did not realize that they would all get sent at once. Sorry to overwhelm you all at the start of the new year.
