Artistic Retail Fashion Catalog-Magazines

While fashion retailers aren't typically thought-of to be roducers of literature, I discovered recently while perusing the latest Neiman Marcus and Hermes catalogs that worthwhile retail fashion publications do exist.

Hermes, for spring-summer, produced Le Mond d'Hermes, featuring a dance oriented theme (seen also on their web site) and over 100 pages of art through a blend of photographs and text. the book and ruminated about the intertwining of fashion and lifestyle in Entree, their InCircle magazine, highlighting several hot travel spots. Fashion is wearable art, so it's nice to see its advertisement portrayed beautifully.
