+0086 Beijing Cool

A sort of Fruits of China's best dressed kids, this volume defines the new Chinese cool through the eyes of its hippest generation, in 300 pages of photos and illustrations from the ultracool Beijing-based magazine +0086. The first generation to enjoy the economic accelerations--the foremost of the so-called "Tiger Economies"--of the past ten years, China's youth culture is media-savvy and globalized, their eyes beaming in the glow of perhaps becoming the next Internet It Girl or Cory Kennedy. These kids may watch Skins and Gossip Girl, but, as the book demonstrates, they aren't blindly miming some bland digest of global pop culture, rather, they are developing a new style that is specific to contemporary China, which is taking root by itself. This publication marks the beginning of a documentary work in progress, as +0086 continues to report on the situation from the streets of Beijing. Though this book can't tell the future, it does predict that Chinese youth will just keep getting cooler.  > more

Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony: Reds

Actress-designer Chloë Sevigny marks the debut of her new line of unisex menswear with this limited-edition hardcover volume. First called on to model her collection of tweedy wools, Fair Isle knits, and animal print jacquard sweaters, Chloë's redheads became muses for a project focusing on the curious place of red hair in our culture. Curated by Sevigny, Reds features contributions from Slater Bradley, Peter Coffin, Matt Damhave, Brian DeGraw, Joe DeNardo, Brendan Fowler, Jess Holzworth, Matt Keegan, Karen Kilimnik, Nate Lowman, Marlene McCarty, Jack Pierson, Rob Pruitt, Aurel Schmidt and Kon Trubkovich. Original works by these artists accompany images by David Armstrong, shot on location at the photographer's townhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. In addition, redhead lore from Lily Ludlow explores centuries of redhead mythology, which variously described the fair-skinned, freckled breed as temperamental, magical, unlucky, jolly, beautiful and deviant.  > more
