THE STORY

This vibrant Sky Magazine cover and feature is a dramatic close-up portrait of Prince, capturing his intense gaze and signature style. The bold pink headline “Reach for peach Prince” teases an in-depth feature inside, positioning him as one of the most compelling figures in music, movies, and fashion at the time.




CONTEXT & NOTES

 Sky Magazine was a popular UK fortnightly guide to movies, music, and fashion. This cover appeared during Prince’s post-Sign o’ the Times era (or around that period), when he was at the peak of his creative and commercial power, continuing to push boundaries in music and visual presentation. The bright, eye-catching design reflects the glossy, aspirational tone of late-80s youth culture magazines.
