FHM Magazine February 1998 Kylie Minogue Model Feature SKU 1465

Original FHM Magazine – February 1998, Issue 97, with Kylie Minogue as the main cover model.

This is a classic late-1990s issue of FHM from the magazine’s peak men’s lifestyle era, combining celebrity/model photography, interviews, fashion, humour, travel, unusual features and regular editorial sections. The bright red cover is dominated by a full-length Kylie Minogue studio image and the large yellow “KYLIE!” cover line, making it a very strong display issue for collectors of Kylie memorabilia and vintage FHM magazines.

Kylie Minogue Cover & Feature

Kylie Minogue is clearly the principal model and cover star.

The contents page identifies the dedicated Kylie Minogue feature beginning on page 114, and the supplied photographs show part of the feature inside the magazine. The interior spread presents Kylie in a high-fashion editorial setting, including a large seated portrait and accompanying interview/article text.

The cover describes her as returning for a substantial FHM feature, and the photography is very much in the distinctive late-1990s magazine style.

“The Future Is Sexy” Feature

The contents show a feature titled “The Future Is Sexy” beginning around page 72, previewing a selection of women expected to make an impression during 1998.

This appears to be one of the issue’s larger model/celebrity photography sections, adding further collector interest beyond the Kylie cover feature.

The supplied contents pages show a wide range of period material, including:

• Michael Madsen interview.
