Shopping – Most Wanted Books on Fashion

My current most wanted fashion book list, most available at Eslite. Saw the spread on the second floor in the Warner Village location.

#1 – Yohji Yamamoto – My Dear Bomb -Absolute living legend! SO inspiring. He cuts cloth like a sculpture.

#2 – Alexander McQueen – Savage Beauty -The master. need i say more?

#3 – Less is More – Minimalism in Fashion -The direction I’m moving in lately. You think it’s the easiest until you try to make it. Smooth clean lines are difficult to cut perfectly.

#4 – The Art of Manipulating Fabric  - This book isn’t new, but I’ve wanted it for a long time because it’s awesome. I even went to Amazon and snooped on the pages inside and it is a gold mine of techniques with how tos. Not available at Eslite :(

#5 – Subscription to Korean Vogue -I just bought this issue, loves it. FYI, every Dec. they package it with their Spring/Summer collection picks in a mini mag half the size of a regular one. It’s so worth the price. It fits in my purse and it’s my go-to guide. But I need a subscription cuz they are expensive.

#6 – Any of the Taipei In Style magazines. I do not mean the US InStyle, that is shit IMHO. This one has many issues detailing runway pictures divided into $1500NT books – Cut & Sew, Dresses, Shirts, Bottoms, Accessories, etc. I could not find ANYTHING on the internet with a photo. Next time I’m in there, I’ll snap a pic and update this. They also do Spring and Fall collections divided into major fashion week city categories – my most wanted being PARIS, of course. Of the previous, DRESSES.

#7 – Rick Owens (I did not see this at Eslite, but he is one hell of a designer. Major drool over every leather jacket he’s ever made. Maybe someday I’ll have an extra 2000 to drop on it.

#8 – The Business of Fashion: Designing, Manufacturing, & Marketing (Excellent textbook and contains many things I need to know!)

There were a bunch more books at Eslite I noticed, but can’t remember. This ones are on my list for next year!
