Re: [h-cost] Current day fashion magazines
I subscribe to Vogue, W, Bazaar, and Entertainment Weekly (it covers a lot of star fashions). For the past year Vogue has been running a section with photos on Hollywood and vintage fashions. Vogue or Bazaar points out when someone is wearing vintage and puts the designer's in the caption. I can't recall which one of these magazine has a monthly article by Karl Lagerfeld, but it is generally interesting. I enjoy the ads in these magazines, except the perfume one with the samples. They get ripped out immediately. The designer ads are very creative, especially Sept. issue of Vogue... my daughter-in-law and I figured out that one ad was a mirror effect in Photoshop or another image software. I do subscribe to Women's Wear Daily (WWD) online. I enjoy the industry trade news. Vogue is also good about running articles about museum exhibits, photos of the guests attending the exhibit's opening, and articles about film costumes. Their lead article is always in the last section of the magazine. I do have a complaint about one photoshoot of Demi Moore that was last month's issue in one of these magazine... she was air brushed way too much. I also study the ads for their layout and design. I have been collecting Vogue since the 1970s, W magazine since 1995, and EW since 2000. Bazaar I just started collecting this past year. If you run a business, a lot of magazines will offer you subscription for $5-8 a year's subscription. I think they are getting my business name and address from the county where my business license is registered. I subscribe to several magazines this way or via using my airline frequent flyer points. Although most people do not think of fashion but I have issues of National Geographic from the 1960s-2000. I collect them for international cultural fashions. The magazines are also an inspiration resource for costumes, past, present, and future. The issues of the Bayeaux Tapestry and the Tut exhibit in the 1970s are like gold to me! For those wanting to collect this magazine, your Library is a wonderful way to pick them up cheap. Our local library has a Friends of the Library section, where you can purchase old magazines for a quarter each. I have stopped getting issue of the magazine because we have run out of space to put them. I do subscribe to Smithsonian magazine... That's how I found out about the King Tut exhibit and reserved my advance tickets for the 2007 exhibit in PA. BTW, for those people wanting to go to one of the Tut exhibits, you can reserve tickets online... all the future exhibits are over 50% booked. They will reserve the tickets and you have to pay the day before the exhibit opens in the location you plan to attend. The exhibit is in Jacksonville, Florida either now or in a month or so. I love Town and Country magazine but their subscription rate is too expensive for me. Their fashions are so-o-o classy. I read TC and Architectural Digest whenever I go to my doctor's office. A long time ago, I found a website, where you can receive free fashion catalogs from various companies. I have been receiving the catalogs for years. I love to look at the catalogs for the color themes for that season. I have fun seeing what new color names have come out. Penny E.

RE: [h-cost] Current day fashion magazines
I probably read Vogue and Harper's Bazaar most. I've finally learned not to save the whole magazine, just rip out and save those inspiration pages only for my doll dressing, plus anything from upcoming movies, costuming exhibitions(to check for possible catalog/book publications)as I had about six huge boxes of doll-related and fashion magazines over the last ten years. The magazine I miss most is Victoria which stopped publishing a few years' ago. I reluctantly recycled my copies, except for a couple of issues--when I did a long-overdue clean out of books and mags several weeks ago. Costuming, history and some other books(still about seven shelves/3 bookcases full)remain as I need the space for fabric, notions and other crafting. Will finally get to some of it this winter as heating costs will keep me home more along with much quieter(so far)tenants in the apartment above mine! ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Fashion: Allure Vogue. I use Vogue as a source of inspiration for costume design, and to pick up on current trends, or specific designs techniques that intrigue me and the houses that originate them. I am a fiend for fashion photography as an art form. Costume: Threads I have to disagree with Fran that it is geared only for beginners, I am constantly finding inspiration and I doubt I'd qualify as a beginner. It is true that not every issue speaks to me, but seems that would be true of just about any publication.

Re: [h-cost] Current day fashion magazines
I _hate_ artificially-aged clothing or anything with frayed edges-- I'd like to get at least some wear out of something before it starts to look shabby. I know exactly what you mean. I like some of the deconstructed look in terms of very uneven hems, draping, layers, etc. I hate actual raw edges, because the garment falls apart so much quicker. That said, I'm probably giving up on the rather daunting task of going around every tier of those fray skirts (that I bought because I loved the styles, colors, and fabrics) and hand finishing them; or alternatively, taking them apart and putting them back together again. I've beein doing some of that though. Winter was awful-- the shops were full of the ugliest sweaters I've ever seen. I've been seeing some wonderful sweaters--batwings and other draped styles. A lot of them just swamp me, though I bought a nice drapey huge-batwing one recently. And I like sweater-coats--but not belted. They look dowdy belted.

Re: [h-cost] Current day fashion magazines
I love cowl necks, and big turtlenecks, and Marilyn necks (just a rearranged cowl neck of course), batwing and dolman sleeves, and big, chunky sweaters. Cable knits. Cashmere, both the smooth flat 50s style knits and chunky knits. Embroidered sweaters. Hand-knitted sweaters. And ponchos. I adore ponchos, not the classic diamond ethnic ones so much, but the retangular-across ones and the ones with interesting drapes; especially knitted and crocheted ones. I'm betting capes come back soon--there are some around, particularly little capes, but they're not a major fashion trend right now as far as I can tell.

That's at least partly being short--your calves are not where the boots manufacturer thinks they should be, height-wise. I have the same problem with long boots.

Maybe you can't wear the whole thing, but you can certainly get away with the laced bodices, jackets, ren shirts, etc...and look very stylish.

[h-cost] Current day fashion magazines
What current day fashion magazines do you all read? Answers only make sense if you samples all the magazines read. IMHO to really make sense of this question, a pollster should address the whole person, their lifestyle, workstyle, friends acquantances, and fiscal situation. Cheryldee's excellent point... it's all about who you want to fit in with is clearly spot-on. I would modify it ever-so-slightly to it's all about who you can want to fit in with. I may _want_ to fit in with the billionaire yacht owners in Nice, but cannot at this time. Now, to answer your question: I only read Wired (fashion) the Economist (not-fashion). Yeah, some of you are going to deny this is fashion, but go look at the Play and Fetish sections. Geek-chic. It's all about the accessories. Here in Silly-con Valley, particularly among the tech /or MBA set, this *is* fashion. Being the first to get that Blackberry, Zire, wireless access, a memory key, Mot flip-phone, or the Vaio is fashionable. We just call it cool here. Early this year it was the ear-wrap cellphone headset, now it's the eyeglass mounted hands-free cellph. Oakley has one. If only I wore glasses. My current must-have is a WAP-sniffer that discriminates between locked/unlocked sites, gives IP address and details signal strength.
