Limited 2000 1st edition: 2088 of 6000 copies.
From the Visionaire website:
31 BLUE fulfills two dreams: to make an issue of large-format, poster-size images and to sew the issue into a custom-made garment, in this case, a limited-edition Levi’s turn-of-the-century One-Pocket Sack Coat. Sponsored by Levi's, much of the artwork focuses on Americana. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed Shalom in an American-flag T-shirt. Richard Phillips overlaid a 1970s-style smiley face on a detailed drawing of a sneering girl. Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas treated us to an iconic close-up of Kate Moss wearing a Levi’s collar piece reconstructed to read “Levi’s.’’ More contributions came from Fabien Baron, Greg Foley and Orfi, David Armstrong, Nan Goldin, and Gary Hume.

"The alternative small run publication has often dazzled, always relentlessly focused on changing the way we look at the printed page. Looking haughtily over its shoulder to Fleur's Flair, Visionaire rolls up its sleeves, cups its hands to its mouth, flexes it muscles... Oh, I could go on all day... And whispers, "The eyes have it."
