Zuburbia HOME: Vintage Signed Courreges Poster


vintage signed courreges poster

I’m keeping my eye on this eBay auction for a vintage poster by Courreges signed by the man himself along with Toutes mes amities, which, if my high school French doesn’t fail me, translates roughly to our Best Wishes or Best Regards.

Available at eBay.
