This is an extremely rare issue of French fashion title L’Officiel.
COVER: A beautiful illustration by Rene Gruau + a very special Gruau feature inside.
Rene Gruau was a genius fashion illustrator who created several covers for L'Officiel and many of the biggest brands and magazines in a long career. The feature about Gruau runs 4 pages and features more of his beautiful illustrations - great for reference as it also contains several of his other fashion illustrated magazines over the years.
Also inside -
Supermodel Iman appears in two photo shoots.

This is a Special Collections Haute Couture issue and packed with all the brands. Dior, Ungaro, Lacroix, Cardin, YSL etc
The condition is excellent. The cover has a light crease across the logo and two old tears to the cover edges have been repaired. They're small enclosed tears and are barely visible. The photographs you see are from the actual copy you will receive.

Our Covid Virus Plan - November 2020
We are still trading. We are still posting sales. The post office has advised, as an essential service, that it will remain open. There are also extra cargo planes to keep up with demand, and couriers such as FedEx and DHL have increased capacity.
We have lots of packaging in stock, we started self isolating in early March and we have a new, very stringent cleaning routine in place. We have thousands of magazines close to us in our archive and office and we also have many more in boxes in storage. Any stock we retrieve is being handled with gloves. All of our stock is already sealed, as all our vintage magazines are stored in individual archive sleeves, in acid-free boxes, and in climate-controlled art storage.
The world has changed and it will continue to change in profound ways that we cannot fully imagine. We have no other income and we really appreciate any sales we make that at this time. As we start this long path of isolation and spend more time cut off we are, in a small way, a little excited about the idea of being able to provide reading material and rare magazines for people all over the world. With love from all of of us at this very difficult time.
Stay safe.
