A round box housed round, unbound artwork. Each of the cover elements-photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin-was produced exclusively for FANTASY: The dress was designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga, Viktor &amp; Rolf made the banner, and Jeremy Scott created the gold porcelain doll's head and hands. It was the first issue time we published Tim Burton, Gregory Crewdson, and Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas and there was a special section curated by Isabella Blow featuring, among others, David LaChapelle, Mariko Mori, and Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Each issue included an Hermes mask that many wore to the masquerade ball launch party.

With a new theme and format for each new issue, Visionaire stretches the imagination and boundaries of what an art and fashion publication can be. Issue #30: The Game takes as its inspiration the Louis Vuitton Cup, the qualifying round of sailboat races for the America's Cup, and the first major competition of the new millennium. Mirroring the Cup's format of entrants from seven different countries, Visionaire assembled 'teams' of artists, photographers, and image makers to represent each of the Cup's participating countries. Accordingly there are seven different versions of this issue, one per country. Each version comes in the form of a puzzle: sixteen cubes when placed in the correct configuration form one of the six different images. The cubes along with a book of all forty-two images are packaged inside a silk-screened Lucite case created by Louis Vuitton. Among the participating artists are: for the USA, Alex Katz, Nan Goldin, Mary Ellen Mark, Steven Klein, David LaChapelle, and Elizabeth Peyton; for Australia, Tracey Moffatt; for France, Serge Lutens and Karl Lagerfeld; for Italy, Maurizio Catalan and Francesco Clemente; for Japan, Syd Mead and Takashi Murakami; for Spain, Pedro Almodovar and Juan Gatti; and for Switzerland, Raymond Meier, Pipilotti Rist, and Francois Berthoud. 
Described as the "couture version of magazines," this highly collectible publication-as-art-object pulls together the design, fashion, and art world's most important image makers.

Some years ago, an antique stereoscope was presented at one of Visionaire's weekly brainstorm sessions, inspiring a maelstrom of ideas among the magazine's editors. When the opportunity to focus an issue on Rio de Janeiro came along, Visionairerealized that stereoscopy provided the perfect format for the theme. A stereoscope allows the viewer to look at a slide made up of a simultaneous double-image of the same picture, creating a 3-D illusion of depth. In the nineteenth century, stereoscopes provided a primary source of imagery and news from faraway lands, and here, Visionaire 62: Rio takes a decidedly analogue approach to achieve the same mesmerizing effect, with a series of images by artists that interpret the city of Rio de Janeiro for 3-D viewing. The issue comes with a stereoscope designed by Visionaire in collaboration with the product design company Aruliden, which is packaged together with the slides inside a lenticular case. Among the contributors are Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima photographed by the artist Richard Phillips; artist Marilyn Minter photographing supermodel Izabel Goulart; filmmaker Cary Fukunaga choreographing Capoeira; artist Marco Brambilla's collages of Rio; Maurizio Cattelan and Lea T; a Tony Oursler installation photographed by Vicente de Paulo; Jason Schmidt's portraits of Vik Miniz, Adriana Verajao and Eli Sudbrack; Solve Sundsbø with Brazilian parrots; Russian performance artist Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich on Ipanema Beach; and Brazilian photographer Gabriel Mendes. The issue comes in two different cases, designed by two of Brazil's most famous artists: a 3D lenticular case by Fernando and Humberto Campana (Campana Brothers); and a mobile lenticular case by Beatriz Milhazes.
