WATCH YOUR CITY GROW WITH POPVILLE

The city as a living body that is born, develops and differentiate its buildings and functions: from the very first nucleus (an isolated church among the trees in the countryside) to the huge metropolis crowded with streets, pylons, factories and stations.

Popville is a pop-up book in which each page corresponds to a moment of the city development. Some urban and landscape elements remain constant references for the growth of the city, while others simply disappear and make place to new ones.
What lasts is the steady stream of occasions and possibilities which, in the book just like in reality, remain unpredictable till the moment of turning the page.

A funny book to be flicked through, unexpected in its simplicity: Popville is a vivid and faithful translation of the living course of a city.

Anouck Boisrobert and Louis Rigaud graduated at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. Popville is their first book.
Joy Sorman is author of novels published in France by Gallimard.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: GENIUS OF A GENERATION

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MISSED IT...

...here are a few photos from the signing for the new book Alexander McQueen: Genius of A Generation by Kristin Knox.

Kristin and fashion dog Butters arrived in style. Kristin was sporting a pair of McQueen leggings and brandishing a Sharpie and ready for some signing action whilst Butters was just geared up for some classic schmoosing.

We would like to say a big thank you to Kristin for coming to do the signing and helping to organise the event- I just hope RSI hasn't set in as she was rather inundated with people. Plus a big thank you to everyone who turned up. We do have a few extra signed copies left over but you will have to come and get the quick as there aren't many.

To find out more about the evening, the book and Kristin, you can visit her blog The Clothes Whisperer.
