Written By LE BOOK
This year, the iconic platform is making a long-anticipated comeback in print, reasserting its role as a global benchmark for image, innovation, and connection. And at the helm of this relaunch? None other than IB Kamara, a leading force in the new generation of image-makers and a cultural shapeshifter who’s redefined what fashion looks like - and who it speaks to.
A Legacy Reinvented
Since its creation, LE BOOK has served as a beacon for the creative industry: a space where art meets commerce, and where the world’s top image-makers, stylists, editors, directors, and brands converge. Its pages have documented the evolution of visual culture, acting both as a curated directory of talent and an editorial showcase of the most daring, elegant, and cutting-edge work of each era.
In recent years, LE BOOK embraced digital transformation, expanding its reach through online directories, editorial features, global CONNECTIONS events, and a growing social media presence. Yet the demand for a physical, tangible object — collectible, curated, and timeless — never disappeared. Quite the opposite.
With the creative world craving slowness, meaning, and tactile experiences more than ever, the decision to return to print is not nostalgic — it’s strategic. And it comes with a clear intention: to reimagine what a creative industry “bible” can look like in 2025.
Take a Step into the Kamara Era
Appointing IB Kamara as creative director of this new chapter is no coincidence. It’s a statement. Known for his genre-defying work with Dazed, Off-White, and Burberry, Kamara has always been more than a stylist or editor - he is a visual futurist, whose practice merges storytelling, politics, and unapologetic beauty. His arrival signals a complete reinvention of LE BOOK’s print identity - pushing boundaries not just in content, but in format, voices, and vision.
Expect a book that looks nothing like what you’ve seen before.
It will still serve its essential purpose: connecting the global creative community. But under IB Kamara’s eye, this edition will also reflect the diverse, plural, bold, and urgent creativity of today’s cultural landscape. It’s LE BOOK - but re-edited for the current needs.
What to Expect
Launching this fall, the new LE BOOK will take the form of a hybrid object: a curated directory spotlighting the leading players and emerging disruptors in contemporary image-making; an editorial magazine featuring visual essays, in-depth interviews, and original content; and a collectible art book, designed to be kept, displayed, and revisited - a timeless object as much as a tool for the creative industries.
This edition will be distributed globally, with a sharp focus on fashion, art, photography, design, and cultural innovation. It will showcase both established voices and emerging talent, bridging generations and geographies. More than a publication, it’s a toolkit for creative professionals, a sourcebook for inspiration, and a mirror to the industry’s evolution.
Print is Not Dead - It’s Being Reborn
In a world flooded with ephemeral content, LE BOOK’s return to print is about making space for depth, intentionality, and beauty. About reminding us that holding something in your hands - and seeing yourself reflected in its pages - still matters.
And with IB Kamara guiding the editorial direction, this isn’t just a revival. It’s a revolution.
