Cosmopolitan China Covers

COSMOPOLITAN China

The history of Cosmopolitan China begins a bit earlier, in 1993, when a Fashion Media Group called 时尚 "Trends" was founded in Beijingdongdan and issued a magazine under the same name "Trends". It became China's first focus on the high quality magazines carrying to people Chinese fashion dream. In the beginning the magazine issued 1 time in 2 months and was a double edition for women and men (the front cover named: "Trends Lady", the back cover - "Trends Gentlemen").

The first cover of TRENDS graced Cristina Cruze, August 1993

In 1997 the magazine changed into monthly publication (starting from #22) and separated into 2 independent version for men and women, the numeration continued went as: 1 - "Trends lady", 2 - "Trends gentleman" and each version published 1 issue in 2 months: (january - Trends Lady; February - Trends Gentleman; etc...)

In April 1998 the Trends Media Group gets the license from Cosmopolitan magazine and continues their "TRENDS LADY" magazine as "TRENDS COSMOPOLITAN". The "Trends Gentleman" magazine remains unchanged and also continues to be published along with women's "Trends Cosmopolitan" under the same numeration. The april 1998 issue is #39, though it is #1 as Trends Cosmopolitan name.

Next, it goes classic way, 2 issues per month, one Cosmopolitan and one Trends Gentleman are still published. Later the Trends Gentleman renamed into Trends Esquire magazine.
