A New Book by Pariss Out-There Art-Fashion Duo

Before banding together to form design practice and art partnership M/M (Paris), whose regular collaborators include Nicolas Ghesquière, Björk, Stella McCartney, and Interview magazine, Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag met as students at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1988. Four years later, they founded M/M (Paris), and started with "very, very simple things," as Augustyniak recalls. "I remember both of us creating a quarter of a page for a record that we didn't particularly like, but we knew we had to do it as part of the learning process." A handful of album sleeves later, Yohji Yamamoto assigned M/M (Paris) its first fashion commission for the designer's Y's range in 1993. "We were handed a series of images and we had to select ones to use and put them into a catalog," Augustyniak says. They were eventually tasked with transforming Yamamoto's runway shows into brochures distributed in his shops, and from there, they continued to log hours in the fashion world.
