Since 2006, Michael Dupouy has dynamically displayed “the finest of streetwear” moments in his All Gone compilations. For the 18th installation of the canonical La MJC series, Dupouy enlisted Daniel Arsham to curate two crystallized colorways of All Gone 2023‘s cover.
“After featuring his projects in the book over the years, it’s now Daniel’s turn to infuse his unique touch into both covers. I couldn’t be more thrilled,” Dupouy wrote in an Instagram caption.
All Gone 2023 clocks in at 192 pages and arrives in “Bronze” and “Quartz” iterations; the “Bronze” takes a turquoise body, with bronze crystal-eroded detailing, and the “Quartz” boasts a sleek white silhouette polished off with quartz erosions.
“Working closely with Daniel’s team, we embarked on a collaborative effort to accomplish technical feats never before attempted by my printer for All Gone,” said Dupouy. “These two covers are truly extraordinary, showcasing a combination of offset printing, anti-scratch matte lamination, glossy varnish on crystal, sand varnish effect (both with silkscreen printing), and deboss on perfect registration for logos and texts on the hardcover.”
“JJJJust like in 2022, staying positive in 2023 was challenging,” Dupouy began his yearly “prologue” of sorts to the compendium. “The assessment is grim, yet it possesses the virtue of clarity. We can’t ignore the context when looking at our culture, industries, and key players right now. As I mentioned last year, my intent is not to mask or downplay the challenges humanity faces today. Instead, I strongly believe that our culture is adapting dynamically, finding positives in the midst of negativity, and continuously working for progress, innovation, and self-reinvention.”
All Gone 2023 is limited to 2000 copies and runs for $88 USD.
Pre-orders are open now at All Gone website now, with shipping expected to start on January 22.
