Following on the heels of Martin Parr's limited-edition, album-style presentation of Life's a Beach, released last season, Aperture is delighted to introduce a new beach-bag-sized edition. Parr has been photographing beaches for many decades, documenting all aspects of them, including close-ups of sunbathers, rambunctious swimmers caught mid-plunge, and the eternal sandy picnic underway. His international career, in fact, could well be traced to the launch of The Last Resort, a 1986 book depicting the seaside resort of New Brighton, near Liverpool. What may be less known is that this obsession has led Parr to photograph beaches around the world. This compilation, his first on the topic, presents photos of beachgoers on far-flung shores, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Spain, Italy, Latvia, Japan, the United States, Mexico, Thailand, and of course, the U.K. The compilation brings to the forefront Parr's engagement with a cherished subject matter-that rare public space in which general absurdities and local quirks seamlessly fuse together. This book shows Parr at his best, startling us with moments of captured absurdity and immersing us in rituals and traditions associated with beach life the world over. Buy the book here.

A collaboration with film and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny, Little Flower is Régime des Fleurs’ take on Sevigny’s favorite bloom—the rose. Juicy, romantic, layered floral and citrus elements.

"Chloë is a dear friend and an endless source of inspiration to me. I’ve associated her with roses for as long as I’ve known her and have always found a certain romance in her relationship with them, her ultimate fascination and the comfort they’d bring. It took us a year and a half and 33 different versions to get the scent just right. The result is what I find to be the true essence of Chloë: timeless, glamorous, so vibrantly alive."

Delphine Arnault, executive vice president of Louis Vuitton and the founder of the prize, offers her take: “The true originality of his universe feels akin to what Issey Miyake was doing in the eighties,” “When you look at how far Marine Serre [last year’s winner, ed] has come in the past year, it’s really gratifying to see a new vision and energy come to life. We’re looking forward to helping him develop internationally.”

The Japanese designer was competing on the shortlist with none other than creators like Samuel Ross from A-Cold-Wall*, the American duo of Eckhaus Latta, Matthew Adams Dolan and Rok Hwang, the latter who got to take home the special prize for his womenswear label, Rokh.
He impressed the jury not only with his passion but his ingenious and unique approach of clothing and packaging through an experimental vision, most remarkably embodied by a key moment of his presentation: noodle cups containing compressed t-shirts, that expanded when soaked in water.

For those who thought streetwear was at its peak after Virgil Abloh's appointment to Louis Vuitton, the French mega-holding signals it plans to continue and usher the way into a new vision of luxury and fashion.
