Le Palace Magazine


Ooouff! The magazine of the place, written and featuring a who's who of Paris. Lots of club photographs (which of course are brilliant) by Lauga (of au bout de la nuit) plus Paloma Picasso, Sonia Rykiel, Elie et Jacno, Bettina Rhiems.

Le Palace Agenda 1982


A strange one- in thats it's a diary for 1983, probably given away at the time. The clinher though, is that every other spread is a photo spread- making it the only book on Le Palace published by Le Palace, and to be fair, it's the best book on Le Palace. The majority of the photographs are by Roxanne Lowit and Dominique Lauga, and most of them I haven't seen before. Pretty incredible, and it's safe to assume, rare as anything.

Bernhard Willhelm 2001-2008


Bernhard Willhelm, since his solo debut in 1999, has become one of the most infuential of the designers to emerge in the wake of the 'Antwerp 6'. From 2001-2006 he collaborated with celebrated Dutch duo Freudenthal/Verhagen in the production of what is an incredibly unique series of presentations, which along with the work of Bless, Walter Van Beirendonck and Bernadette Corporation negated the fashion system and eschewed traditional notions of beauty in favour of a post modern approach to culture, dress and presentation which has as much in common with fine art practices and popular culture as it does with fashion- leaving a legacy that can be seen from Maurizio Cattelan's work with Permanent Food and Toilet Paper to numerous somewhat niche subcultures (sea punk/health goth/etc). Both Willhelm and Freudenthal/Verhagen have been the subject of numerous museum retrospectives, in addition to their works which are now permanently housed in both private and institutional collections.
