This is a historically important issue of Elle France, as it contains a rare feature on the sinking of the famous peace ship in New Zealand.
COVER -
Actress Nathalie Baye.
FEATURES -
In 1985 a boat named the Rainbow Warrior and owned by Greenpeace was docked in Auckland Harbour. It had been involved in protests in the Pacific, against the French who refused to halt testing nuclear bombs in the atoll near Muroroa. On 10th July, a bomb ripped through the ship and killed one crew member. The French initially denied any involvement... and the rest of course is history. NZ was at the forefront of anti-nukes declaring early on that no ships with nuclear warheads could dock in their ports. It's rare to see a serious subject such as this featured in an eighties French fashion magazine... The cover tagline translates to 'The spy in Auckland, as told by her husband'.
...which also contains features on knitwear, skincare and fashion editorials. French Elle is published weekly making it even more impossible to source back issues!
Excellent condition.
