WE DO LIKE A 'NEVER WAS ACTUALLY FOR SALE' BOOK. MASSIMO OSTI MADE THIS

ONE IN 1986, PACKED WITH EIGHT YEARS OF C.P.

COMPANY DESIGN AND

ADS. THE PHILOSOPHY OF A BRAND IN PHOTOCOPY.

ALSO KNOWN AS THE 

RAREST MENSWEAR REFERENCE ON THE PLANET.

The title page of a self-published, privately printed two-hundred-and-sixty-page mimeographed masterwork! 
 

The covers. Bound in cloth. It's huge. 30 x 40cm. Single volume voluminous. Inside, it is completely out of this world class. 
 

A-mazing! Deep V necks and cable knits on the photocopier. From L'Uomo Vogue, 1986 (original photo Torkil Gudnason).
 

Blown-up details from photoshoots. This one the legendary Aldo Fallai in 1983. 
 

Full looks from photoshoots. Child star is such a good look! Great credit too: Catalogo Yanky Fashion, Giappone - Collezione primavera/estate, 1986
 

Practical Styling. Pencil in the mouth and more in the pocket. Reading glasses for the too-young-to-need-them model gets a double tick. Photo Fabrizio Gianni, 1981.
 

And Mickey Rourke! C.P. Company design always was legend but when it's worn by legends, well, we don't know what the word is! This originally from Per Lui, 1986 - Photo by Frédérique Veysset.
 

Don't know what this advert looked like before it was xeroxed... maybe exactly the same. 1979 (best year ever!).

This book is largely undocumented. It could be a never-see-it-again book. Which is the one reason you need (alongside the fact that it's fabulous) to own it. Gasp at the price on the red button below.
