Catalogue note
The Face No. 79, November 1986, fronted by Yasmin Le Bon in the 'Feline Groovy' fashion story. The issue combines fashion, music, film and cultural reporting characteristic of The Face's mid-1980s editorial identity, with features on Mantronix, Jeff Goldblum, New Order, the Motown story and Paul Theroux, plus a period Lee Cooper advertisement on the back cover.
Why this object matters
The McGee/Le Bon fashion image and Mantronix/New Order/Motown coverage form an outstanding period cross-section. The specific evidence supports 8.5, without a verified breakthrough sufficient to place it nearer Gold.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
Score and assessment method
Archive Importance: 8.5 / 10.
This is a curatorial judgement, not a measurement accurate to one tenth or a market valuation. Read the explanation and its evidence limits together.
