But I ended up picking Vivi to come home with me, if only for the fact that I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Every single page is packed with clothes, tips, and street style photos, so you feel like you're reading 3 magazines. I think this style of magazine printing works in Asia because we're bombarded with advertisements everywhere we go - subways and buses, pamphlets passed out on the streets, people shouting at you from their stores with microphones...
The flirty dress section.
This must be the "inspired by Rumi" section.

ReplyDeleteJapanese magazines are so picture-heavy, it's a real treat, because you can get so many ideas. It's like catalogues, basically, and style guides with detailed steps you can follow (and which many do). When I still was in Japan, I used to pick up a magazine, ran through it, noted down the stuff I found interesting, and then just had to look for exactly that when I was in the shop- It was like doing your homework and then do the real shopping, and it's so convenient.
