The reading sits alongside the clothing for a reason. What we stock here extends the same interests that shape the rest of the store, independent publishing, photography, design, and the magazines that document a culture rather than chase it. Titles chosen the way everything else is: for point of view.

The collection is built primarily around a curation by Paris Image Unlimited, a research and art direction project founded by Tea Sirbiladze and David M. Skoudy. They move between book collecting, visual research, and curatorial practice, working through photography books, artist publications, fashion archives, and printed ephemera with a precise and personal eye. Thirty-three titles selected through their distinct sensibility, entering into dialogue with M.I.G. and what we are trying to build.

The range runs across art and architecture monographs. Gerhard Richter, Christopher Wool, Anish Kapoor, Andy Warhol. Early Scandinavian modernism: Arne Jacobsen and Alvar Aalto. Photography that carries weight: Robert Mapplethorpe, Nobuyoshi Araki, Rineke Dijkstra, Juergen Teller, Wolfgang Tillmans. Rare fashion documents spanning Issey Miyake, Giorgio Armani, Dries Van Noten, Véronique Branquinho. Japanese design and graphic practice: Tadanori Yokoo's PUSH, the first monograph on Walter De Maria produced in his lifetime.

Alongside the archive sit contemporary independent magazines. Endless Magazine on time and photography. Present Space on genesis and beginnings. Service from the Alps. Crosscurrent. Aleï Journal. Correct Distance, a magazine documenting fashion, photography, and cultural memory.

Nothing in the selection moves on trend. Nothing is chosen for what's currently loud. The editorial principle holds across everything we carry: material that rewards sustained attention, published objects that sit as much for reading as for keeping, and the kind of independent thinking that shapes how we see.
