I love these old German magazines. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any in my country. Except for Verena and Burda.
I thought to find and buy magazines is not difficult.I was wrong?
German Magazines to find this a problem?I thought you and other people who are doing the scans are buying old magazines on ebay.I do not use ebay,I got magazines inherited.
I try to help and add Germany scans
I buy my magazines from people who have such and need to get rid of them... And in the process of that earn some money. I find eBay sellers to be too demanding of a high price so I can't afford to buy anything from them. Plus, even if I find a price that suits my finances, I'm gonna have to pay waaay to much for delivery to Bulgaria.
Actually there were a lot of different women's fashion magazines in Soviet years but they were a different kind - they were mostly sewing magazines with patterns or with technical illustrations and descriptions for seamstresses to sew what woman wanted as it was much easier to find nice fabric than something special in a store. And when Burda magazine first western magazine came in 1987 it was a huge hitI'm always lurking here and love these pictures so much.. I especially find vintage Russian publications intriguing these days, I read somewhere (not long ago) that they didn't really allow fashion magazines in the Soviet years (please correct if this is wrong and I'm just repeating nonsense!), at least not a variety.. I think it was just one main fashion magazine?, anyway, their approach to fashion right after the end of that period and throughout the 90s feels so refreshing and full of energy. I would've never seen that or even thought about it if it wasn't for the contributions here!
I think AMICA and GRAZIA deserves their own individual thread. Both have long term trajectory in several countries, since 80s? 70s?
