CR Fashion Book

I don’t like using the word genius when it comes to fashion; it seems both trite and undeserving. Shallow, even. But CR Fashion Book? Genius. And beautiful. I love a good magazine over coffee once whenever the subscription rolls in, but it’s not often I’m completely entranced or blown away. Blame it on a state of overwhelm or case of college jadedness: it all seems so contrived sometimes, especially when there’s greater things on hand. Or it’s just dull—a been-there-done-that sort of ordeal—that has my flipping just to get to the end. (This is all in the full disclosure of honesty; it’s not the first time I’ve gone back and forth on fashion.)

CR Fashion Book re-inspired. This is why I love fashion magazines so much: beautiful work and thoughtful essays, bound in a beautiful compilation. There’s the same amount of advertisers—it’s just the way the cookie crumbles—but there’s a great level of taste and care give to every part of production.* The website is incredible as well; it’s quite a chic counterpart (as Emily Weiss of Into the Gloss had said about her own website) to the print. I could get lost in the pages on-line and on paper forever…
