What matters in life is not what happens to you, but what you remember, and how you remember it.
Gabriel García Márquez
Our philosophy
The philosophy behind Book-à-Porter is that there are feelings, words, and emotions for which it is difficult to find a place in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Yet they certainly merit expression and deliverance from the digital stream of modern life that consumes everything in its path.
Our method
Our books are based on a unique narrative formula. For every book in our collection, we have created a storyboard made of a myriad of questions, which we call “narrative capsules”. These narrative capsules, grouped into thematic chapters, are original insights that ignite memories, rekindle anecdotes, and provoke reflection, making the writing process exciting, compelling, simple, and stress-free.
Our format
Each book tells a different story in a unique way. Each book is a world of its own. This was the great challenge of Book-à-Porter as far as design was concerned. We had to create a collection of books with a flexible, agile layout that would be easy to adapt to ever-changing content. To respond to this need, we created modular blocks (the graphic equivalent of our narrative capsules), which can be joined together to create luxury books, or in other words, the perfect package for the precious stories they tell.
