Sergei Sviatchenko: Close Up and Private

A photographic celebration of the details of clothes, from the author of the acclaimed fashion blogThis volume documents the ongoing photo-based project exploring the "visual language of style" by Danish Ukrainian architect and artist Sergei Sviatchenko (born 1952). Begun as a blog in the mid-2000s, the project morphed into a magazine with contributions from Jeremy Hackett and Jason Jules. Sviatchenko�s colorful photographs portray the details of men�s clothing, aiming to capture the spirit of modern style and forge a dialogue between men, clothing and photographic image. Subjects� faces appear only rarely, and usually obscured, so that readers find themselves experiencing Sviatchenko�s unique eye for clothing, as it is drawn to particular qualities of fabric, cut and color or homes in on a particular combination of clothing. This volume conveys Sviatchenko�s boundless love for contemporary fashion.
