Qué curisoso... no es una novela, es como una revista que imita a una revista 😅... Las ilustraciones son una maravilla, lleva algunos breves cómics, como que nos cuenta el periplo de una revista ficticia a lo largo de 100 años de publicación... Le quito una estrella porque anda mencionando todo el tiempo que la revista incluía relatos en tal y cual época, pero el autor no incluyó ninguno.
An astonishing artwork that remotely acknowledged the legendary B2B fashion magazine: Hanatsubaki by Shiseido Co. Adapting a format of mockazine, this book recreated the history of fictional fashion magazine: "Rondo". With a few short comic style stories as an interlude between the beginning of each new era, "Rondo" manifested the maximalistic Art Nouveausnique illustrative style of so many dazzling artworks from clothing to cosmetics, from furniture to hairstyles, from kimono to Cheongsam. Even the works of mock advertisements are simply stunning. Hiromi Matsuo is not only a talented illustrator, but also a visionary creator. I. Love. This. Artbook.
