The Eye

How the World’s Most Influential Creative Directors Develop Their Vision.

Join Nathan Williams, founder of Kinfolk magazine, as he brings over 90 of the world’s leading creative directors into the spotlight. We meet fashion designers like Thom Browne and Yohji Yamamoto, editorial directors including Fabien Baron and Marie-Amélie Sauvé, and tastemakers like Grace Coddington and Linda Rodin. We learn about the books they read, the mentors who guided them, and their individual techniques for achieving success. And we discover how they developed their “eye”—and how they use it to communicate visual ideas that have captured generations, and continue to shape the future.

As an entrepreneur whose own work is defined by its instantly recognizable aesthetic, Nathan Williams has a unique vision of contemporary culture that will make this an invaluable book for art directors, designers, photographers, stylists, and any creative professionals seeking inspiration and advice.
