FHM Magazine November 1998 Caprice Michelle Williams Robbie Williams SKU 1548

Original FHM Magazine – November 1998, Issue 106, featuring Caprice as the main cover star.

A strong late-1990s issue of FHM with a very recognisable period design and a wide mixture of celebrity interviews, entertainment, humour, lifestyle, winter travel, fashion and unusual real-life features. The blue-and-orange front cover is dominated by a full-length Caprice photograph and the headline “She’s On Fire!”

This issue should particularly appeal to collectors of Caprice memorabilia, 1990s celebrity magazines and vintage FHM issues.

Caprice Cover & Feature

Caprice is the principal cover star and also features prominently inside the magazine.

The contents page confirms her main feature on page 204, titled “She’s On Fire!” The feature focuses on Caprice’s modelling fame and public image during the height of her late-1990s popularity.

The cover itself is very characteristic of FHM from this period, with Caprice photographed against a blue studio background and surrounded by the magazine’s bold orange and white headlines.
