Fiorucci Panini (complete set)


A phemomenal pop cultural artefact, and scarce when complete. The stickers were intended to be stuck in an album, and most were, though most albums are also incomplete. Should you need an introduction to Fiorucci itself- it was essentially the pop art wing of the fashion world, in the late 70s and early 80s Marc Jacobs, Jackie O, Calvin Klein and so on shopped there, Maripol worked there (and then became creative director), Kenny Scharf showed there, Keith Haring sprayed the Milan shop, you get the idea. Back to the stickers- there are 200 of them making it a complete set, all un-peeled, and showing the full flush of incredible Fiorucci graphics from their campaigns to their rather irreverent pop statements. All are in near fine condition. Such a baffling and fun part Memphis part disco/new wave part pop art collection, and a complete graphic history of Fiorucci. Fantastic.
