The Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam Library will honour Irma Boom this year with a retrospective exhibition of her work - she donated her studio archive to the university in 2003. To accompany this exhibition she is producing an exceptional catalogue; this miniature book (38 x 50 mm) contains a complete overview of her oeuvre, with commentary and more than 450 full colour illustrations in 704 pages with printed edges.

Although there are frequent crossovers between fashion and architecture and other disciplines, the collaboration between fashion designers and architects is still at an early stage. Which is surprising considering they have so much common ground. Mutually inspired, the designers cut through the dogmas of their own discipline, make a design statement and allow the visitor an insight into the creative process. What does this confrontation produce and is there a ‘click’ or a clash?
