by Siobhan
Fashion & Textiles / October 20, 2011

With Toronto Fashion Week wrapping up, and Vancouver Fashion Week coming up soon (November 1-6) I thought it might be a good time to show you some of this Fall's new books on Fashion... plus a few notebooks, notecards and even a fashion card game!

These are great reads for both fashion designers -- whether aspiring or established -- and fashionistas alike. Click on the covers below for more info on each one.

New Passions

by Siobhan
Gift & Stationery / March 02, 2011

It's not quite the first day of Spring yet, but I'm tired of grey winter weather (and what's this about hurricanes predicted for BC today?!). I am ready for Springtime.

Spring is all about reawakening from our winter slumber, shaking off our grey-sky blues and reigniting our passions. So I was quite pleased to see that Moleskine has created a whole line of videos to showcase their new Passions Journals. Moleskine has added several new topics to their popular set of Passions Journals this season: Style, Travel, Gardening, Dog, Cat, and Baby.

Here are some videos that I hope will get you all fired up about your passion, whatever it may be.

Anna Sui

Fashion & Textiles / August 26, 2010

Later this fall, Chronicle Books are publishing the first book to cover the entire scope of fashion icon Anna Sui's 20-year career.

With a shimmering foil-stamped cover and more than 400 photographs, the book celebrates Anna Sui's influence—from her first show that snared the support of supermodels Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, and Kate Moss, to the role she's played in making the babydoll dress one of fashion's most iconic silhouettes—and gives fans ran access to the designer's creative design process.

In this video, Anna Sui talks about creating the book: 



Anna Sui is available in October.
