If you work in the creative industry,
you will probably want to have LeBook,
the bible for those in the fashion, advertising and design industries.
Published since 1982 in New York, Paris and London,
LeBook lists art directors, photographers, and illustrators
as well as PR, modeling and photo production agencies.
It even includes a list of luxury hotels and much, much more,
amounting to more 10,000 pieces of information.
LeBook is a must have and its readership is growing.

LeBook Connection is a show sponsored by this publication,
specifically tailored to showcase some of the work
done by those featured in the book.
It attracts visitors from all over the world.
This year's LeBook Connection was held
at Chelsea Art Museum for two days on June 17, and 18.
Vantan Design Institute participated in the show
under the name of Vantan Management
to promote nine of its graduates
and to explore business opportunities on their behalf.

Vantan Management is a project designed to launch
Vantan graduates' career in the visual industry,
much like Vantan's atelier X-SEED in fashion.
Vantan Management's main objective is to
support Vantan graduates' activities overseas.

More than one hundred people visited the booth
set up by Vantan Management during the show.
They were from a multitude of businesses,
including recording companies, media companies,
advertising agencies, creative derectors,
art dealers and select shop proprietors.

Vantan's staff manning the booth spoke
for the nine creative artists from Vantan,
and made a pitch for their work.
Some of their work received excellent reviews
from the representatives of Barneys New York,
Universal and ACEHOTEL.

Vantan Management will share the contacts
made during LeBook Connection with the nine creative artists
featured in the show and make necessary introductions,
helping them to take the first step in the right direction
as they launch their own careers overseas.
