"Kira and I always wanted to do a book. We couldn't stand the kind of style books that were out, that were based around celebrities dressing up and looking fake and dull. Style for us was always about individuality, being inspired by everything from punk rock to movies to absolutely anything—but in your own way. Not being dictated to, and definitely not aspiring to look like a celebrity on a red carpet, or a celebrity obsessed with big new expensive handbags, horrid jeans, and sunglasses. That seemed to be all there was out there. So that's where the book idea came from. A bit reactionary, I suppose." - Garnett

This 'Visual Language' is the 2D preview, the 3D will be released April 19th online. enjoy.
