Exhibition: Socio X
Bridget De Socio

Exhibition: Socio X is a delicately bound collection of the art direction and design of Bridget De Socio. The book highlights work she created for Paper magazine, Vera Wang, Pantone, various fashion vehicles as well as a section dedicated to her personal experiments.

Ballsy is the best word I could come up with to describe Bridget’s work. She takes a ton of chances with type, form and color and manages to make it work on a consistent basis. My only complaint, and it is not a huge one, is the lack of dates on all of the spreads. It makes it difficult to place into context what she was working on at any given time without thumbing to the back of the book.

Very clever work that spans a 25-year career.
