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
influential work across the contemporary cultural sphere. By

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;
contemporary artists including Francois Curlet, Philippe Parreno,
Pierre Huyghe and Sarah Morris; and rethinking the iconic titles

building a visual atlas of the creative landscape since the early
1990s. In this illustrated A to Z, beginning and ending with the
