Joe's Magazine Volume 1

Joe McKenna, 1992. Large folio. The debut issue of the legendary Joe’s Mag, a trailblazing fusion of art and fashion. This opulent publication weaves together Bruce Weber’s provocative erotic photography, Paul Cadmus’s delicate drawings, and the quiet ennui drawn from Dirk Bogarde's memoirs. Richly illustrated throughout, the magazine redefined contemporary style and rapidly evolved into a scarce collector's piece. Published at the peak of the supermodel era, McKenna famously granted his inaugural cover not to a runway icon, but to the Virgin Mary, captured gazing upward and serenely exhaling a wisp of smoke from a heavenly cigarette.
