Magazines and Reference Books


I love to read fashion magazines and trend reports. That's why i always collect and keep the Fashion Week editorial and supplements as my treasures.

Mingpao style magazines have been collected by me for years.

Sometimes, post magazine from SCMP Sunday is also a good resourse to catch the trend and get inspirations.


Other magazines like Vogue(British), BAZAAR and Marie Claire are great magazines not only read their articles but also the advertisments!
Few years ago, I bought a book talking about Color theory in Wan Chai Book Fair (Pageone)
At that time i couldn't digested it fully, but after i took this Fashion Trend Lectures, and read back my book, i got the meaning and found that color forecasting is mentioned in the book!
Amazing Re-discovery ^U^~~~





I also borrow a book from library - "THE GOLDEN AGE OF COUTURE : PARIS AND LONDON 1947-1957" EDITED BY CLAIRE WILCOX - V&A

It mentions about Dior's Golden Age - The New Look and other Brands' Couture, like BALENCIAGA.
