Title: Joe's. First Issue and Second Issue Author: McKenna, Joe, editor Place: New York Publisher: Joe McKenna Date: [1992], [1998] Description: 2 volumes. Illustrations from photographs. (Folio) 41x29.5 cm (16x11¾") original pictorial wrappers. First Editions. These two issues comprise the entire run of this important fashion magazine. One of the most desirable publications of its times. Profusely illustrated with photographs by Kurt Markus Peter Lindbergh, George Platt Lynes Bruce Weber Paolo Roversi, and others. Rare. Armand Limnander in the New York Times Magazine (Aug. 26, 2007) relates that "the first issue of Joe’s, the brainchild of the stylist Joe McKenna, was published in 1992, and the second in 1998. They have stood the test of time because, unlike the barrage of new magazines that have followed, Joe’s paid little attention to celebrities, and even less to advertiser demands... When Joe’s first appeared, it served as a calling card for McKenna, neatly encapsulating his aesthetic. More important, it offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the fashion world that other magazines approached with predictable slavishness... In Issue 1, Bruce Weber’s shoot of Keith and Derrick Brewer — one of the most controversial of Weber’s career — shows the nude, adolescent blond twins interacting in a way that suggests their special bond transcends fraternal empathy. In Issue 2, a beauty portfolio by Mario Sorrenti opens with a shot of the fashion editor Grace Coddington’s unruly ginger mane, followed by a roster of fair-skinned redheads au naturel." Lot Amendments Condition: Some light wear to wrapper edges of first issue; near fine or better. Item number: 277979
