Visionaire #12 from 1994, the iconic "Desire" issue that changed fashion publishing forever. Why This Is Special: * RARE SILVER VARIANT - Most copies you'll find are blue.

The experimental construction means these don't age like traditional books. The box construction is less than solid, the red satin has a wrinkle but that's the nature of these avant-garde pieces. The good news? The individual art sheets inside are in excellent condition - each one a standalone masterpiece ready for framing or display.

Rarity: Silver variant - extremely uncommon 
Investment: These only appreciate in value DM if you understand what you're looking at. Serious inquiries only - this isn't a coffee table book, it's a cultural artifact.
