They're often behind the scenes, letting their work take center stage. But now Nathan Williams, founder and creative director of  Kinfolk magazine and author of  The Kinfolk Table,  The Kinfolk Home, and  The Kinfolk Entrepreneur-with over 250,000 copies in print combined-brings more than 90 of the most iconic and influential creative directors into the spotlight.

In  The Eye, we meet fashion designers like Claire Waight Keller and Thom Browne. Editorial directors like Fabien Baron and Marie-Amélie Sauvé. Tastemakers like Grace Coddington and Linda Rodin. We learn about the books they read, the mentors who guided them, their individual techniques for achieving success. We learn how they developed their eye-and how they've used it to communicate visual ideas that have captured generations and will shape the future. As an entrepreneur whose own work is defined by its specific and instantly recognizable aesthetic, Nathan Williams has a unique vision of contemporary culture that will make this an invaluable book for art directors, designers, photographers, stylists, and any creative professionals seeking inspiration and advice.
