Stephen Willats / Doppelganger
Wonderful little project from Willats- where he takes 3 people, and builds a portait of them through the objects around them and places they go. It's a super book, and a deceptively simple cultural artefact.

Bodymap
Think this came from an issue of Jill, circa '84, before it flew off the shelf and into the pocket of a collector. A nice 6 page special on Stevie Stewart and David Holah's legendary Body Map. According to a couple of people who were around in the 80's, for a few years Body Map was everywhere. Surely by now a retrospective is in order..

Haruko Wanibuchi and Kansai Yamamoto
Former Avedon Assistant Tad Wakamatsu's 1970 book 'Ipy Girl Ipy' is, as everybody knows, amazing. Also amazing is that Kansai Yamamoto did the costumes. These images are from First and Last, which is kind of a retrospective celebration of the original book, with lots of outtakes, interviews and texts. As the original Ipy Girl was a nude book, there wasn't so much in terms of clothing, so this is the first time Yamamoto's full designs have been seen. Enjoy!
