Reflection of a Man:
The Photographs of Stanley Marcus

EDITORIAL DESIGN
BOOK PACKAGING

An exquisite collection of private photographs that reflect the sense of style and eye for design that made Neiman Marcus founder Stanley Marcus an international arbiter of taste. Marcus's daughter Jerrie Marcus Smith and his granddaughter Allison V. Smith celebrate this passion by sharing images shot on business trips in Europe, on vacations in Mexico, and during family celebrations.

Forewords by Oscar de la Renta and Jerrie Marcus Smith, with essays by Roy Flukinger and Jack Lenor Larson. Photo selection by Allison V. Smith. Designed with DJ Stout at Pentagram Austin.

Restrained design and classic typography allows the beauty and artfulness of the photographs to take center stage. 

The images in this book are very much from the era of photo albums with black paper and photo corners so we used black paper for the endsheets as a nod to that past convention. 

Stanley Marcus had an amazing collection of personal book plates. We had a selection of them reproduced and tipped into the final books.
