Magazine of the Week

Hi, everyone! Glorious 4th to you and yours!

This week, in honor of men’s fashion week in NYC, we are highlighting the Fashion Focus menswear titles. You used to know these as the Collezioni Close Up set. Recently, however, a new publisher bought the series and changed its name to Fashion Focus.

I’ve posted above the cover of the new menswear runway shows edition, which is called Fashion Gallery. This provides the same sort of runway coverage and trendspotting as the old Close Up titles did. Usually the images are arranged by designer and city. We posted this because the fall menswear shows are nearly here. To the left, some looks from Gucci.

Most of the old Close Up titles have transferred into the new title. This includes Fashion Focus Bags & Accessories: Man, Fashion Focus Denim & Street: Man, Fashion Focus Formal: Man,Fashion Focus Knitwear: Man, Fashion Focus Outerwear: Man, Fashion Focus Outerwear: Man, Fashion Focus Shirt: Man, and Fashion Focus Shoes: Man. The first issue of each of these titles has arrived, so you can request them at the PERS desk when you next come in!

These titles are all published twice a year, in response to the runway shows of seasonal collections. We purchase these through one of our international magazine sources, OPR, Magazine Cafe, or Around the World.

If you can’t remember the list of all the new Fashion Focus and Fashion Gallery titles, we have it on the Periodicals Research Guide:
