The definitive overview of one of the world's most experimental and
distinctive graphic-design studios. Originally established in 1992
by Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak as a graphic design
studio, M/M (Paris) have since defied categorisation, becoming one
of the most radical creative practices of today through their

McQueen, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Miuccia Prada, Jonathan Anderson,
Nicolas Ghesquiere and Yohji Yamamoto; musicians Bjoerk, Etienne
Daho, Kanye West, Lou Doillon, Madonna and Vanessa Paradis;
