FHM Magazine Collections April 2014 S/S Style Manual Alfie Allen Game of Thrones BB007

Original FHM Collections Spring/Summer 2014 Style Manual, associated with the April 2014 edition of FHM. This is a dedicated fashion and style supplement rather than a standard main FHM issue, with a strong focus on Spring/Summer 2014 menswear, tailoring, styling and celebrity fashion.

The cover is dominated by Alfie Allen, best known for portraying Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones, photographed in a formal black suit, white shirt and striped tie against a stark studio backdrop. The cover headline reads “Game of Thrones’ Alfie Allen Steps Into The Spotlight”, making him the clear lead feature of this edition.

Alfie Allen / Game of Thrones Feature

A substantial Alfie Allen feature is clearly shown inside the magazine, beginning with a dramatic monochrome double-page spread titled:

“Out of the shadows… into the spotlight”

The introduction refers to Allen as Lily Allen’s brother, Keith Allen’s son and star of Game of Thrones, positioning the feature around his emergence as an actor in his own right.

The photographed opening spread uses a dark, cinematic fashion-editorial style, with Allen pictured wearing a long light-coloured coat against an atmospheric urban background. The feature combines celebrity interview material with a strong menswear/fashion presentation, fitting the purpose of the FHM Collections style supplement.

For collectors, this is particularly interesting as a 2014-era Game of Thrones-related Alfie Allen feature, dating from the period when the television series was at the height of its international popularity.

Cover & Design

The front cover has a clean fashion-magazine presentation with a large FHM COLLECTIONS masthead across the top and the smaller wording “S/S 2014 Style Manual.”

Alfie Allen is photographed full-length in a smart tailored outfit with his hands raised, giving the cover a distinctive editorial look rather than the usual FHM celebrity/glamour format. The restrained grey, black and white background is contrasted by the blue FHM branding and the large blue ALFIE ALLEN headline.

This makes the supplement especially suitable for collectors interested in:

• Alfie Allen
• Game of Thrones memorabilia
• 2010s British television memorabilia
• FHM magazine collecting
• Men's fashion publications
• Spring/Summer 2014 fashion
• Celebrity interview features
• British men's lifestyle magazines

Interior Feature

The supplied interior photograph shows pages 034–035 of the April 2014 FHM publication.

The Alfie Allen feature uses a full double-page photographic layout. One page carries the headline and introductory copy, while the facing page shows a large black-and-white fashion portrait. The styling is considerably more serious and cinematic than a typical celebrity interview, making this feel closer to a dedicated menswear editorial.

The opening text specifically highlights Allen's famous family connections while emphasising his growing individual career, particularly through Game of Thrones.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage magazine supplement. Please study all supplied photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

From the photographs, the copy appears to be in good used condition overall, with normal signs of handling and storage.

Visible condition points include:

• Front cover remains clean and strongly coloured.
• Main Alfie Allen cover photograph remains clear and attractive.
• Some light rubbing and handling wear is visible around the outer edges.
• Minor corner wear is present, particularly around the upper and lower edges.
• There is some slight waviness / curvature to the magazine from storage.
• The spine appears intact, with mild handling wear rather than major splitting.
• Small surface marks and tiny specks are visible in places when viewed closely.
• Lower edge shows some minor rubbing consistent with shelf/storage use.
• Interior pages shown remain well attached.
• The photographed double-page Alfie Allen spread is clean and highly presentable.
• Normal curvature is visible around the centre binding where the magazine has been opened.
• No major tears, missing sections or detached pages are visible in the supplied photographs.
• No obvious handwriting or ownership inscriptions are visible.

Overall, this is a presentable collector's copy with ordinary age and handling wear, rather than a mint example.

Collector Interest

A strong piece for Game of Thrones and Alfie Allen collectors, especially because the cover and lead editorial focus directly on Allen rather than simply mentioning him as a minor feature.

It is also an interesting example of FHM's dedicated Collections fashion supplements, which differed from the normal magazine format by concentrating heavily on menswear, styling and seasonal fashion.

The Spring/Summer 2014 branding also gives the item a clearly identifiable period fashion angle, making it useful for collectors of early-2010s men's style publications as well as television memorabilia.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be carefully prepared for dispatch. Depending on the size and weight of the final parcel, it may be protected using stiff cardboard, bubble wrap and/or a cardboard box.

Particular care will be taken to support the magazine and help protect the corners, edges, spine and covers from bending, crushing or additional wear while in transit.
