This was from 1996; I wish he'd do another. (He did a limited-run signed thing in 2006 that is already sold out.) I'd love to buy this one, but it's out of print and used copies are around $150. There's one two-page spread I would probably even slice out and frame. Fun and quirky but also very lovely. And definitely European.

Disturbingly surreal.

Beautiful if dated. I now need to research what was happening in the NY fashion world of the late 80s!
