Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak originally established M/M (Paris) as a graphic design studio in 1992. Their close associations with the music, fashion and art worlds have led to their becoming one of the most distinctive and acclaimed creative voices of their generation, within graphic design and beyond. While print, drawing, photography and an unconventional approach to typography lie at the heart of M/M’s work, they have also produced films, objects and interiors. ‘Our work is about expressing the idea of a dialogue. We transfer elements from fashion to music to art and back again."

Emily King, the book's author, is a graphic design historian and curator who has
written widely on design-related subjects. |
