If you cannot find a magazine seller in your area who carries Japanese titles, fujisan.com can help. Choose a magazine, set up an account, subscribe from 3 months to 3 years, and fujisan will make you forget your city still doesn't have any good mag stores.
Two picks I'm starting with....

Such a cool service. In Paris there is a great japanese bookstore where you can find a good selection of mags (albeit really overpriced). I've bought "High Fashion" quite a few time, and it proved a great source of inspiration (also some of the articles were translated to English, always a plus). "So-En" is also a great mag to get in touch with up and coming Japanese designers. I've also discovered "Ecocolo", a nice "lohas" publication that centers on sustainable fashion and beauty.
ReplyDeleteI feel like every city has a japanese bookstore BUT chicago. there is a japanese grocery store, but their fashion magazine collection is sparse.
ReplyDeletei cannot wait to receive my first issue!
i will probably add on high fashion....it's a great resource too.
ReplyDeleteomgd, listen to me, i just bought that issue of fudge today!!!!!
ReplyDeletei'm not kidding. how funny is that!

That's a great idea. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeletei'd die for a subscription to nippon vogue or jp aera.
