Street: The Nylon Book of Global Style (Universe Publishing, 2006)
Ask any designer, fashion editor, or art director where the hottest trends are coming from, and they’ll tell you it’s from the streets of certain cities. And if you ask them what magazine gives the best, most authoritative coverage of these outsider fashion incubators, chances are they’ll say Nylon. Nylon here combines its street cred and international expertise to reveal the iconic looks in the seven most fashion-forward cities today: London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Melbourne, Copenhagen and New York. Each chapter opens with an introduction describing the city’s particular history, traits, and culture, followed by full-page pictures of each city’s stylish residents, showing their creativity in full detail, from Tokyo’s famous Goth Lolitas to Copenhagen’s casual chic and everything in between. Quotes from each subject tell about who influences their personal style, what they love about their city, and their favorite local stores. Edgy, colorful, and fascinating to look at, Street is a chronicle of diverse urban style that you won’t be able to put down.

Symbolismin lähteillä – Mestariteoksia Ranskasta 1880–1920
Tampereen taidemuseossa keskitalvi taittuu elämän suuria kysymyksiä pohtivien teosten parissa. Symbolismin lähteillä -näyttely esittelee 230 taideteosta merkittävästä ranskalaisesta yksityiskokoelmasta. Näyttely on laajin koskaan Suomessa järjestetty katsaus eurooppalaiseen symbolismiin. Mukana on 47 Ranskassa vaikuttaneen eurooppalaisen taiteilijan tuotantoa, niin öljyvärimaalauksia, paperipohjaisia teoksia kuin veistoksiakin. Näyttelyn yhteydessä julkaistaan englanninkielinen näyttelykirja “Painters of the Soul”, joka esittelee näyttelyn taiteilijat ja valikoiman teoksia, sekä kertoo symbolismista filosofisena, aatteellisena ja taiteellisena ilmiönä.
