Those who follow Jacquemus on Instagram will likely be familiar with the designer’s images of nostalgic moments, while appreciating his distinctive eye for spatial design and interiors. Whether capturing a blushing sky and palm trees in LA during sunset, referencing David Hockney’s pool divers, or touring Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace near Cannes, this book of 321 iPhone photos is a visual treat.

The images in this stunning volume are a diary of the interiors and situations that have, over the last thirty years, strung together Gili’s curiosity and fantasy. Simple, still and understated, Gili’s images of interiors capture settings that are timeless and personal.
