Retro but modern. This is the new trend, the new way, the new form of illustration created by the new generation. "New retro", a combination of the word "New" and "Retrospective", is a newly coined phrase meaning "appreciating and enjoying something old while reimagining it into something modern." This book introduces 40 up-and-coming illustrators working in this "new retro" style. Through the 300 illustrations showcased in this one book, readers can appreciate and enjoy retro culture, items and motifs reimagined and transformed into something new. Retro culture, along with items such as 80s/90s fashion, neon lights, old Japanese anime/movies, and retro items like cassette tapes and Polaroid cameras, are now being reappraised by younger generations, who did not experience them in real time. The "New Retro" artistic movement, which began as a new and cool subculture before sparking a trend that took off in Japan in the late 2000s, has now become an established genre among illustrators and continues to influence and attract many creators in the industry with its magical appeal. This "New Retro" wave in the art, music and fashion industries in Japan brings a somewhat retro but also modern and trendy feel to popular culture. This collection gathers together the most notable New Retro artists and their works to give readers the most up-to-date, cutting-edge collection of this unique style, and will surely be an important reference book for those who want to appreciate and enjoy the essence of these updated and reimagined retro motifs.

There is something distinctly compelling about the vintage aesthetic. Brimming with charm and character, it often tells stories of a colourful past and showcases a level of craftsmanship that many creatives today still aspire to emulate. Retro designs also emanate a sense of comfort and warmth that is tinged with nostalgia. As testament to the adage that old is indeed gold, New Retro showcases a brilliant collection of work that is anything but outdated, featuring projects that not only draw inspiration from the good old days, but also merge seamlessly with contemporary influences and culture. First published in 2016, this 2021 rerelease - with additional projects and a special cover design - coincides with Victionary's 20th anniversary and is dedicated to the fans who have been requesting for its reprint ever since it went out of stock.

An accessible, design-savvy collector's guide to the world of unusual, rare and dazzlingly retro watches.

One hundred watch models are featured, specially photographed for the book and accompanied by accessible, informative texts discussing the watch's design, its intriguing features, and its rarity and value. The book also dives into the cultural and fashion history of watch design and the many innovations from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
