Loved the hard-bound books that Kim offers at Good Stock… going through the custom books is very inspiring. Loved the custom book she made for the man who wrote letters through his life and always signed them, “Always, James” … the bindings look so gorgeous as well.

It seems that soon, she’ll be offering totally elegant accordion photo books. I really loved the way she’s executed these books. Be sure to also check out the gorgeously designed book templates as well. (via Jordan)

Paolo Roversi did a gorgeous shoot for this month’s W Magazine titled Bag Lady … the color and lighting is so gorgeous. Loved.

Caught the images for this in this week’s JC Report and immediately loved the stark contrasts. With stores in Hong Kong and China, Lane Crawford is Asia’s leading luxury department store offering major fashion brands like Alexander McQueen, Galliano, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, and Chloé. Some of the personalities featured the current campaign include Maggie Cheug, Fu Jia, Liu Ye, Du Juan, and Tan Yuan Yuan.

Something would be seriously remiss if I didn’t mention the work of photographer Rodney Smith. Lately, I’ve seen it popping up all over the place. This work is some of the best I’ve seen in a very long time.

Take care to go through the archives and view his prints for sale. I’m currently coveting this one.

Pretty clothes, pretty locale. Always have love for Anthropologie.

More goodness from J.Crew. The new catalog has dropped and it’s fab. I want sunshine. Now.

Love the fashion photos for the floaty Spring gowns over at New York Magazine as a part of this week’s Spring Fashion issue. The color in itself is stunning. I’m so excited for this season.

The Pirelli tire company’s famous calendar is out now for 2008. Shot by Patrick Demarchelier in Shanghai, it features models such as Gemma Ward, Coco Rocha, Catherine McNeil, Doutzen Kroes and Du Juan.

The website itself is lovely to peruse… see all the calendars shot by legends such as Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, Peter Lindbergh and Annie Leibovitz. Wish I knew more Italian.

I loved the shoot with Natalie Portman in this week’s T:Style Magazine. (As my co-worker Thomas says, “It’s impossible to take a horrible picture of the girl.” And I concur.)

I also am loving the new website for the T:Style Magazine… it’s so much fun to go through the articles and see all the photography. (And also better work-wise as this gives advertisers an amazing platform for advertising!) The new blog is also great… I can’t wait to see more content. See the new T:Style Magazine website at nytimes.com/tmagazine.

My boss showed me the Fotographie issue for fashion photographer Tim Walker and I immediately fell in love with his work. Glam, decay, fantasy, impressive lighting… it’s all there. See more of his work here.

Strolling through ICFF last weekend, I have to confess that not much really impressed me. The display from Lumas, however, stopped me in my tracks. Just what I was looking for: affordable photography produced in limited editions.

Each signed and numbered photograph is a part of a limited edition and the photographers range from new talent on the scene, masters, classics and scientific photography. The gallery also offers some photos in open editions which are more affordable than the limited editions.

The photos can also be bought as is or framed and mounted. Firsthand, those options looked to be very well done. Also, the sizes of the prints offered provide a big impact… sizes range from approximately two feet square and larger.

The prints are absolutely stunning in person. I am loving this concept. Lumas has a brick and mortar gallery in Soho in New York that I’ll be sure to check out.

(I’ll be going over the rest of my ICFF picks later this week.)

Anna Wolf’s work employs tons of nature shots. Such beautifully lit shots. She does a lot of work for Urban Outfitters, as evidenced by her tear sheets. (via Whitespace)
