Danny Nguyen Valentines Day Essentials F ASHION LIFESTYLE ART ENTERTAINMENT FEBRUARY 2010 FREE Who’s Your Zodiac Love Match? New Year Traditions Miss Vietnam Global 2009 Alex Tran Hot Designer Danny Nguyen Valentines Day Essentials yellowmags.com FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF Well, Happy New Year...again. Happy Lunar New Year, that is. February 14, 2010, is Lunar Year 4708 and what an auspicious day it is! I did some research and found that between the years 2000 and 2020, Lunar New Year falls on Valentine’s Day only once. And that is this year, the Year of the Tiger. I don’t know if there are important symbols that may be linked to this rare juxtaposition of east-west holidays, but there should be. Even when the Lunar New Year is the sole occasion for celebration, the rich symbolism that envelops it is impressive. Believe me, the pages in this issue enumerate a long list of New Year’s “Do’s and Don’ts” and a host of traditional activities intended to bring luck and prosperity. I know many of you will deploy some of the measures…just to be on the safe side. I know I will. From Miss Chinatown to Miss Vietnam Global, we have beauty in our sights this month. You may remember Alex Tran who was last month’s cover model. There was such a buzz about her photoshoot that we decided to tell you more about Alex, the winner of Miss Vietnam Global 2009. Talk about beauty and brains and personality, she has it all. In a bow to Valentine’s Day (since we have shamelessly included so much material about the Lunar New Year), Ivy Yang draws a stronger connection between hearts and love. As it turns out, the expression of love can have a profound health impact on our hearts. Just another reason to express as much love as you can on February 14th. It is the Year of the Tiger, after all, so let your love roar. All my best. And Happy New Year. Again! V. Van Hoang Photo by Collin Kelly The color yellow has played a recurrent symbolic role throughout the history of Asian culture. It symbolizes the earth that sustains all life, yet has been embraced by Buddhist monks as an expression of unchallenged power. Such is the role of yellow: always revered but in different ways under different circumstances. The mission of Yellow Magazine is to introduce our readers to the artistic , fashion, lifestyle and entertainment contributions made by Asian Americans. It is our hope that the depth and breadth of the topics and events we cover do justice to the pride that the color yellow has represented throughout the millennia. As the editor in chief of Yellow Magazine, my last name is Hoang, which also means yellow. Just as I am proud of my name, I am proud of my heritage, and proud of Yellow Magazine. Editor in Chief V.

Alex, a Rice University co-ed, entered the world of pageants fairly recently in the summer that she graduated high school. Miss Vietnam Global differs from other pageants in that it attracts contestants from outside the United States, although the majority is American because of the commitments involved, both in terms of time and money. She was Photo by Huy Khiem the fashion model for the January 2010 issue of Yellow Magazine. What are some of the things that you cannot live without? My facial moisturizer! And…my contact lenses.

  • Fashion Design
    Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style with which a person dresses, as well as to prevailing styles in behaviour. Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers.[1] The more technical term, costume, has become so linked to the term "fashion" that the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" means clothing more generally and the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.[2][3] Fashion design Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories; and, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions, such asevening wear or party dresses.
