If you've ever felt that Lonely Planet was a little lacking in the style department (not that there's anything wrong with EMS), we think we may have found your new go-to guide.
City Style: A Field Guide To Global Fashion Capitals
offers a crash-course in fashion in eight of the world's chicest cities, curated by local industry experts. The tome has tips for New York, Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, Sotckholm, Sydney, and LA, with suggestions from in-the-know natives like Rad Hournai, Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava, and Yasuko Furuta. Plus get the scoop on the local look from photogs like the Cobra Snake, Tamu Mcpherson, and our own Mr. Netwon! With runway photos of top designers from each city, plus sidebars on boutiques, hot hangouts, and required reading, you'll glean a little more from this guide than the nearest youth hostel—although after frequenting some of the recommended haunts, that may be all you can afford.
