Maxim Magazine September 2000 Dannii Minogue Malcolm McDowell SKU 1518

Original UK Maxim Magazine – September 2000, cover price £2.90, with Dannii Minogue as the principal cover star.

A very recognisable turn-of-the-millennium issue of Maxim, combining celebrity features, glamour photography, men's lifestyle, fashion, travel, humour, interviews and unusual real-world features. This issue is substantial, with the cover promoting a 28-page fashion special alongside a broad range of editorial content.

DANNII MINOGUE COVER & FEATURE

Dannii Minogue dominates the front cover, photographed in a metallic-grey two-piece outfit. The main cover line reads:

“Dannii Minogue Sweats Up”

with the magazine directing readers to her feature on page 88.

The photographed contents pages confirm the feature as “Full Head Of Steam”, describing a Maxim photo shoot with Dannii. Additional imagery shown within the contents includes another photograph of her associated with the feature.

This makes the issue particularly relevant to collectors of Dannii Minogue memorabilia, Australian pop culture, late-1990s/early-2000s celebrity magazines and vintage Maxim issues.
