Okay, so no, this isn't within the theme of this blog, but I had the urge to use my scanner today (again!), and I just absolutely love this magazine to bits! Preview is the closest I can get to anything like Vogue (oh, the dream subscription!) - what with my being a student and its whopping cost at PHP699 per issue for both American and British issues, and about a thousand pesos for Vogue Italia - and it only costs PHP150 for every great issue.
No, I'm not the most fashionable girl in the city (let alone school!), but I love Preview for its haute couture shoots and creative photos, and let's be honest: the images come out really nice and I only always wish that I were the photographer-genius behind them. (It's random, but listening to music like Up Dharma Down's and Techy Romantics' - like what I'm doing now - helps to stir creative juices. Heh. :D)

The September issue for this year features Anne Curtis for the sixth time on the cover, and much as I would love to scan the whole magazine (scanscanscan, I do love my scanner too much sometimes!), I chose some pages I especially love.

Random: this page I geekily love for its typography and for the color scheme of the whole shoot. I do love the outline of the bigger A in the background - I think I'll use the whole scheme for inspiration later on! :D

This one above I really love because it reminds me of abstract watercolors and the colors mixed haphazardly on a single palette.

And finally this one. I only really included this one because I was surprised Bianca Gonzalez was in this issue (on the last page, actually!) and I absolutely adore her because she's one of the nicer people in showbiz, methinks. She dresses really well, grew up and lives south of Metro Manila (south reprezzeeeeent!), and
has an awesome blog! And yeah, I love her outfit in this picture (and I have the exact same umbrella as she does here!), but I admit that the first thing my eyes went to in this photo was that beautiful bag. Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed bagwhore. I've always been one since childhood!
Anyway, grab a copy of the issue now! Mother has suggested giving me a 12-month subscription of the magazine as her birthday gift to me, and I think I'll take her up on that offer! (Mainly considering it because if you subscribe any time from now until November 7, they'll be giving away the
Preview Art Book for free! YAY. Izz ozzum. Check out
Summit Media's website for more info!)

ReplyDeleteand I love the patterned outfits matching the patterned backgrounds shoots. It really shows a strong linkage between art, society and fashion and how all could be used to create cohesive looks :)

ReplyDeleteHaha! Very true. Meron pa nga sa issue na yan yung top ten picks ng Preview ng young designers. One of them is an interior designer! So may hope ka pa talaga! Go study at SLIM or SOFA after arki!
