Also includes per the publisher: "includes an actual piece of the Versace dress Madonna wore to the Evita premiere, a Paloma Picasso lipstick imprint on a cocktail napkin, a letter from Catherine Deneuve to Yves Saint Laurent, and swatches of fabric from Pucci, Missoni, Paul Smith, and Solstiss." A clean very near fine copy in paper covered boards with a cloth spine with the rubberstamp "Leonard Freed Magnum" on the front free endpaper and in a clean near fine slipcase that has some sunning to the edges.
