Purchase options and add-ons

They’re often behind the scenes, letting their work take center stage. But now Nathan Williams, founder and creative director of Kinfolk magazine and author of The Kinfolk Table, The Kinfolk Home, and The Kinfolk Entrepreneur—with over 250,000 copies in print combined—brings more than 90 of the most iconic and influential creative directors into the spotlight.

In The Eye, we meet fashion designers like Claire Waight Keller and Thom Browne. Editorial directors like Fabien Baron and Marie-Amélie Sauvé. Tastemakers like Grace Coddington and Linda Rodin. We learn about the books they read, the mentors who guided them, their individual techniques for achieving success. We learn how they developed their eye—and how they’ve used it to communicate visual ideas that have captured generations and will shape the future. As an entrepreneur whose own work is defined by its specific and instantly recognizable aesthetic, Nathan Williams has a unique vision of contemporary culture that will make this an invaluable book for art directors, designers, photographers, stylists, and any creative professionals seeking inspiration and advice.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2018

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the book was all of the photography was in black and white. This made me wish that I have waited for the reviews to decide to buy the book, even though I got a discount for pre-ordering. I was expecting a more Kinfolk aesthetic with neutral-colored photography. Besides that, the writing language is okay as okay can be. I'm having a hard time just reading through each figure's stories with a lack of depth to their personality and images of their work.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019
    I love the exuberance of the art and fashion world and often wonder about the lives of those who work in these industries. This book highlights some of the most successful Creative Directors in the fields of fashion, entertainment and publishing. I enjoyed reading about their aesthetics and work philosophies. I'm not sure why other reviewers did not enjoy the book. I thought it was educational and rather enjoyed! It is like a lunch and learn with leading Creative Directors.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019

    I was hoping that the bright red was a book cover, so I could remove it, but it isn’t. I was going to have this as a cofffee table book but my living room palette is neutral, and your eye draws directly to it when entering. The overall quality of the book isn’t that great, and all the photography is black and white, so reading it is a bit of a bore—I lost interest quickly. If you’re into aesthetics and visuals, pass on this one.

    Like all of the other work Nathan Williams, this book is beautiful and yet the content is very well curated. Love the paper choice also. It gives a vintage look that enhances the stylish layout. Very recommended!

    It is an inspirational book to have if you are a creative, it just paints a human face on many of the top creative art directors in the world. A book of 'Mentors'. It is easy reading. I just read about a different person whenever I have a moment. Most are interviewed for the book.
