Next Size Up is a brand new book exploring the world of fashion, sport, design, art and music through the unique and powerful prism of contemporary Sneaker Culture as it enters another phase in its evolution. The world of sneakers has taken centre stage of not only youth culture, but also the mainstream creative industries including luxury fashion and music. Next Size Up talks to the protagonists who made this happen and also explores what happens next. Providing a platform to celebrate and discuss some of the most compelling issues surrounding the creative industries today, it will appeal to those interested in cutting edge design, illustration and contemporary art as well as the ever-expanding world of sneaker enthusiasts. This new book embodies the story, collaborating with designers, photographers, artists and writers including, amongst others, Paul Smith, Sarah Andelman, Antony Burrill, Alexander McQueen, Nike, Vans, Prada, At Last Clothing and many more.Size Isn’t Everything published 20 years ago is reprinted to complete this two volume set – the very first book of it’s kind, it set the template for all others to follow. Back then it was completely uncharted territory, an underground movement of which the mainstream, including the Sneaker brands themselves, knew nothing about. Size Isn’t Everything not only examined its heroes, codes, boundaries and contradictions, but also embodied the culture’s ethos of putting creativity, design and collaboration at its very heart. Working with some of the most innovative names of the time Size Isn’t features such names as The Chapman Brothers, Anthony Burrill, Tomato, Snoop Dogg, Glen E Friedman, Tony Hawk or Spike Jonze. The book was and is still beautiful.

Before Donald Trump was President, he was Donald Trump. The Game: All Things Trump is a journey through the world Donald Trump created for himself starting in the 1980s. His brand, his name, his casinos, his hotels, his products, his everything. Among the 1,000-plus objects (of which 500 are shown here) amassed from auctions, eBay, and word of mouth are some of Trump’s greatest hits including Trump Shuttle, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Steaks and the Ego sign from the Ego Lounge at the Taj Mahal. The scope of the project is as vast as Donald Trump’s reach has been, showing that long before he became president, Donald Trump wrapped himself around America and called it his.

Portable studio documents contemporary British youth culture, and was created in collaboration with the young people Appleson met and photographed on the streets of Birmingham in 2014. Inspired by the way identities are now curated online, the project works with a wide range of individuals to create an 'archive' of found and commissioned material, exploring identity and experience as expansive, multimedia portraits. Portable Studio inverts the traditional idea of the studio portrait/street photograph - the 'snapshot' is now just the starting point. In 2014 Trevor Appleson was commissioned by MAC Birmingham and the Library of Birmingham to create a new body of work exploring the city’s youth culture. Equipped with a film camera and a plain black cloth to use as a backdrop for his photographs, Appleson went out into the streets of Birmingham to its music venues and its shopping districts, in daytime and at night and photographed its youth, from ravers to girl guides, most in their teens and early twenties. Portable Studio will feature approximately 200 portraits alongside a fascinating archive donated by the sitters; a unique mix of physical and digital material ranging from crumpled diaries to selfies posted on social media, the contents of ‘memory boxes’, to vintage family photographs and Google search histories. The book is divided into three sections:Portraits: grouped by location and ‘tribe’, ravers, punks, rockers, school kids etc.Archives: 70 personal archives from selected subjects invited to collaborate further.Index: an annotated index completes the project with notes and descriptions. Supported by Arts Council England, Portable Studio is a critical document of contemporary British youth culture, made in collaboration with a selection of the 700 young people Appleson photographed for his commission.
