V Magazine was launched in September 1999 as the younger sibling publication to the limited-edition quarterly Visionaire. If Visionaire is a couture book, V is ready-to-wear. V is large format and visually driven, international in scope and collaborative in spirit. V is a magazine about fashion with a capital F and all the things that go with it: art, music, film, books…you name it. Before V was put into print, the people at Visionaire thought of it this way: Imagine a wall of forty-four televisions, each tuned to a different station. Today you would need a wall of 250 televisions, but it is still a good way to think of the insane and unpredictable mix of people, places, and things that V celebrates in its pages. V is a place where uptown meets downtown, celebrities mingle with total unknowns, high art converses with underground culture. Chic, wacky, fun, fabulous…in a letter V.
The publication of V-Best marks the fifth-year anniversary for V. What better way to celebrate V for V. While the editors like to think of every issue as an instant hit, they’ve taken the best of the best from the archive, bringing everything from fashion stories by contributors like Mario Testino, Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, and Karl Lagerfeld, to talks with celebrities as diverse as Janet Jackson, Norman Mailer, Helmut Lang, Beyoncé Knowles, and David Bowie.
V’s packed quite a punch in five years, and it’s only just begun.
