And now as authors of several RIZZOLI books: The Stephen Sprouse Book, Antonio Lopez Fashion, Art, Sex & Disco, GLOSS The work of Chris von Wangenheim, Richard Bernstein STARMAKER and their most recent Dustin Pittman NEW YORK AFTER DARK. Roger and Mauricio Padilha’s lovingly authored, researched and curated books have achieved something of a legendary status. This is your 5th publication with Rizzoli! And we @irkmagazine love all of them , Tell us about each one and tell us the process : Mauricio Padilha: Our first book was The Stephen Sprouse Book, a designer and artist we always loved. It was a tremendous success and after years of not being available, it is back in a limited edition printing so get yours today! Antonio: Fashion, Art, Sex, & Disco was a true monograph on illustrator Antonio Lopez, another favorite of ours who we felt never got his deserved recognition. What a genius! Gloss: The work of Chris Von Wagenheim was not only on a fashion photographer we loved but also the dark side of NYC in the seventies. Starmaker: Richard Bernstein was a way to give credit to the artist behind those iconic Interview magazine covers that truly defined the birth of celebrity culture.
