About NOMAD |
|
|
NOMAD was founded by
Dominique Signoroni Kuroyanagi in 2005. NOMAD is published by
a Swiss company Yuzu lab Sarl based in Geneva with an editorial office
in Milan and is a Trade Mark
of Yuzu Lab Sarl. NOMAD is a new kind of
guide that breaks away from any kind of existing guide, offering its
readers a direct grip on the contemporary face of a city.
Definitely on the edge, NOMAD is however much
more than an address book listing hot boutiques and restaurants.
Through comments, interviews, debates driven by striking local and
foreign personalities, NOMAD wishes to offer
outsiders a sharp view of a city's current developments in all creative
fields such as art, fashion, design and architecture.
In promoting local contemporary culture, NOMAD wishes to foster
mutual understanding among individuals from different nationalities and
backgrounds and to provide an opportunity for creative exchanges. |
