FACADE

Description
Rare original issue of FACADE magazine. This is issue number 1, published in Paris during the height of punk in 1976. This first issue is really rather scarce as the launch issue had a print run of only 5,000 copies. One of our favourite magazines - similar to Andy Warhol's Interview, with a certain je ne sais quoi...

This issue features:

• Cover shot by Pierre Commoy (of Pierre & Gilles). The girl is Eva Ionesco, Irina Ionesco's daughter, with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Eva featured on the back cover of a later Dali issue.

• John Waters interview with photos of Divine and Waters, 2 pages.

• Tattooing & Piercing, 2 pages.

• Christian Boltanski interview and photo collage, 2 pages.

• Nude centrefold by Jacques Parnel.

• Interview with Kenzo, 2 pages.

• Other contributors include - Dominique Gangloff, Michel Momy, Junki Shimada, Michel Klein, Gilles Roy and Jacques Monory. Published by Alain Benoist, Laurent Laclos, Jean-Luc Maitre and Herve Pinard. Photography throughout also by Pierre & Gilles (PIERRE COMMOY ET GILLES BLANCHARD) - who met whilst working on this very magazine, as art director and photographer.
