8 pages of portraits of designers by Horst includes Karl Lagerfeld, Claude Montana, Thierry Mugler, Kenzo and many others

12 pages by Albert Watson with two female models. An unknown male appears in several images, wearing a Chateau Marmont T-shirt - we wish we knew who he was....

Additional edits by Sarah Moon, Patrick Demarchelier and more. 

Also - 2 more pages by Guy Bourdin including the large red heart image. 

Before the days of catalogues, this 342 page issue also includes some fantastic advertorial from leading designers. In our opinion ( we've said this often ) while people can quip "oh fashion magazines are full of adverts" we see this as a good thing! The images used for ad campaigns back in this era are editorial worthy and juts as good as the fashion pages often calling for front cover glory. 

Condition: Excellent, completely flawless front cover. Amazingly as in the same condition you would expect if purchased today - 45 years later! However the rear cover has a crease fold one inch inwards from the spine from two to bottom from storage.
