The Village Voice View (Vue) Preview Issue

New York. Village Voice. 1985. First Edition. 4to, 30pp. Numerous Colour and Black & White plates.

Preview issue for The Village Voice's short lived (5 issues) fashion magazine, helmed by former 'Rags' editor Mary Peacock and designed by Yolanda Cuomo. The quality and depth of material is incredible, and provides an insider's ear on the ground in a way very few publications have achieved. Larry Fink goes clubbing at the Palladium, Nan Goldin takes Turbeville's bath house concept to it's logical conclusion, and delivers arguably her best work, dandies and street fashion get their dues, and a lot more.
