Bravehearts: Men in Skirts

Maybe it's because there's nothing sexier than men in skirts. Maybe it's because the cover model looks like my husband...I don't know. Either way, this book is hot :heart:

In that case (not to make you feel any less Belgian :lol: ), you should also look at "Young Belgian Fashion Design." I actually contemplated picking it up in Flemish when I was in Brussels, since it was taking another 6 months for it to get printed in English.

The first book is out of print :o
 
Oh. Not surprising,I suppose,considering the rise of the Belgians since it come out in early 2000. Thank heavens I got it then ;)
 
Fug,where are you from in Belgium? I think in Antwerp,Copyright bookshop(attached to the ModeNatie building)on Nationalestraat carries the book-at least they did when I was there.

Lucky you! I have only one magazine of FRUiTS:angry:
 
Not sure if this is really considered a fashion-related book, but what immediately came to my mind was The Outsiders.
 
The Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella are okay but only if you read one. They're all too similar in that the main character ALWAYS tries to save money, ends up shopping till' she's broke, and then getting all her cash back.
