M/M (Paris) is a graphic design studio founded in 1992 by Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak. Since its inception, the studio has defied categorization and has become one of the most radical creative practices of today. Through their influential work across the contemporary cultural sphere, M/M has collaborated with fashion designers and brands such as Alexander McQueen, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Miuccia Prada, Jonathan Anderson, Nicolas Ghesquière, and Yohji Yamamoto. They have also worked with musicians Björk, Étienne Daho, Kanye West, Lou Doillon, Madonna, and Vanessa Paradis, as well as contemporary artists including François Curlet, Philippe Parreno, Pierre Huyghe, and Sarah Morris.

M/M has been building a visual atlas of the creative landscape since the early 1990s. In this illustrated A to Z, beginning and ending with the letter M, interviews with Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak frame over 850 images of their projects. A series of conversations with rarely heard luminaries – designers Peter Saville, Experimental Jetset, Cornel Windlin, and Katsumi Asaba; fashion designers Miuccia Prada and Jonathan Anderson; artist Francesco Vezzoli; cinematographer Darius Khondji; chef Jean-François Piège; theatre director Arthur Nauzyciel, and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist – are interspersed, providing a thought-provoking insight into the minds of one of the world's most distinctive creative duos.
