Number Two – A Life with Denim
Expert denim insider and designer Piero Turk has recently published his second book “Number Two – A Life with Denim”, three years after the launch of his first one, “Details – a Life with Denim”.
This new hardcover publication presents a selection of photos shot by Turk and focuses on key pieces and details of his personal vintage denim collection. The book also highlights the designer’s own tastes, preferences and private life by showing patchworks of images taken during his worldwide travels, highlighting some of his major sources of inspiration, plus a few delicate cameo photos of his family, friends and himself.
“I wanted to show what my life is about,” he explains implying that his interests are broader than the denim world, even if it is still playing a major part.
Completing the book are pages with statements, sometimes provocative, on the widespread unfair jeans industry practices. “If you buy cheap jeans, what are you really expecting about the working conditions of those who did them?” is one of the quotes Turk wants his readers to start thinking about.
“Number Two – a Life with Denim” is sold through Etsy (price €50).
