The cover never printed — fashion, framed for the wall.
From the studio behind imagii
Vintoire is a collection of original fashion plates dressed as the covers of magazines that never existed. Invented titles, imagined issue numbers, a year that lives only on the page — each one conjures the glamour of mid-century high society, from the salons of Paris and the Riviera to the avenues of New York.
The idea
A magazine cover, reimagined as art
I
Original artwork
Every cover is designed from scratch — the title, the era, the styling. Nothing is reproduced or licensed; the world on each piece is entirely its own.
II
A mid-century mood
Couture silhouettes, sea-light and cocktail hour, the quiet confidence of the 1950s on both sides of the Atlantic — composed with a Didone masthead and a painter's palette.
III
Made to be framed
Each design is built as a true cover — masthead, cover line, issue detail — so it reads as a collectible the moment it's on the wall.
The conceit
Issues from a glamour that was only ever imagined
There was never a magazine called Vintoire. That's the point. Each cover borrows the language of the golden-age fashion press — the sweeping masthead, the dateline, the single arresting figure — and uses it to tell a small, invented story — a striking figure, a setting, a year that never was. The result feels found rather than designed: a back issue rescued from an archive that only exists on your wall.
Where it belongs
Made to elevate the room it's in
At home
A hallway, a dressing room, above the bar cart — a piece that gives a space instant character and a story to ask about.
At work
Studios, offices and creative spaces that want warmth and polish without the corporate-print cliché.
In commercial spaces
Boutiques, salons, hotels and restaurants where atmosphere is part of the welcome — sets of covers read beautifully as a wall.
