This March 1987 edition of the premier entertainment lifestyle publication for men presents a compelling snapshot of late eighties pop culture and sophisticated editorial photography. The cover features the celebrated all American actress and dancer Janet Jones holding a classic pipe while wearing a patterned silk robe and turquoise collar reflecting the bold fashion aesthetics of the decade.
This issue includes an extensive feature and pictorial with Jones as she transitioned from her roles in major motion pictures to becoming a prominent figure in the public eye. Beyond the visual appeal the magazine provides deep journalistic substance including a headline interview with music legend Lionel Richie who discusses his career during the height of his global fame.
Readers and collectors are treated to thought provoking long form essays such as The Panic Merchants which investigates how the media sells hysteria and a specialized look at the rise and fall of Australian influence in a piece titled Gday and Good Night to Aussie Chic.
This volume serves as a high quality archival piece for those interested in the intersection of celebrity profile and societal commentary from a transformative year in publishing.
