It seems to be the year of Stephen SPROUSE - first the Louis Vuitton collaboration and now LE BOOK - the go-to-resource for the global creative community for the past 25 years, dresses up in Sprouse's art work.

I received my copy of Le Book in the mail earlier this week, and unwrapped it like it was an expensive box of gourmet chocolate. It was actually much better (I obviously prefer beautiful glossy pages on sugar calories). Don't get fooled, Le Book is not only about the looks, it actually has lots of useful info - an entire directory of creative professionals and organizations in NYC (you will be surprised how many!). They even got fashion blogs section (note to myself - we need to be listed next time) in addition to photographers, agencies, magazines and production companies. The book comes in four print editions: New York, Paris, London, and Berlin and is available for $249 at http://lebook.com.

Besides the wonderful publication LE BOOK organizes what's called CONNECTIONS: The industry event bringing together over 3000 professionals 3 times a year, in Paris, New York, and London for two days of networking, portfolio-viewing, trend-spotting, and idea-sharing. The next show is in New York, June 17-18 at the Chelsea Art Museum by invitation only, so please register at lebook.com/connections. Hope to see you there!
