Catalogue note
The Face Vol. 2 No. 35, August 1991, with Patsy Kensit photographed by Andrew Macpherson on the cover. Beyond the cover feature, the issue is particularly important for Corinne Day’s “Borneo” fashion story with Kate Moss, an eight-page editorial from the formative Moss–Day period that remains represented in the Corinne Day Estate and later photographic-market documentation. The same issue records the Haçienda’s latest crisis, PM Dawn, KLF, the contemporary debate around ‘outing’ public figures, Terminator 2 and Bobby Gillespie, making it a dense cross-section of British fashion, club, queer, music and screen culture in summer 1991.
Why this object matters
Day’s Borneo/Moss editorial and the Haçienda/KLF/outing debate provide a rich original intersection of fashion and club politics. The documented exact photographic story sustains Gold at 9.1 beyond the cover subject alone.
Evidence limits: Main magazine appears intact from the supplied evidence; front cover, rear cover and contents opening are physically verified. Full pagination has not been collated. No separately issued supplement or free gift was identified in the consulted exact-issue sources.
