The Reading List: New Knowledge for a New Year

During this time of the year, we all know what everyone's favorite phrase to say or express their hatred for is: "New year, new me!" I could care less which side of the spectrum you stand on, as long as you include bettering yourself in 2014 on your to-do list. Here are some books I'm looking forward to divulging in or have already gained some precious gems from in the new year.

1.
Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls
Leandra Medine

2.
The Asylum: A collage of couture reminiscences... and hysteria
Simon Doonan

3.

Trill Designer Monster Bash: A$AP Ferg for Vogue

           Well it looks like A$AP Ferg has found his costume just in time for Halloween this year. Of course, it wouldn't be a true to A$AP costume without a touch of high fashion. By no surprise, Vogue magazine called on the Fergenstein be apart of the latest installment of their designer-made masks photography series, Masters of Disguise: Designer-Made Halloween Masks. The Trap Lord posed along with many other New York fashion figures (including Vogue's own, Grace Coddington and Man Repeller's, Leandra Medine) donning masks designed by the likes of Olivier Theyskens, Opening Ceremony, Lanvin, and even the Brooklyn-based bakery, Flour Shop.
