Madonna celebrates her book's 30th anniversary by flaunting 90's style

The 1990s are returning thanks to Madonna.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1992 sensual photography book Sex, the legendary singer has partnered with Yves Saint Laurent and New York publishing firm Callaway.

The book is frequently regarded as a turning point in her career since it sparked discussions on sexual self-expression in the 1990s. 

A special 800-copy reprint of the limited edition book and an exhibition organised by the Vogue vocalist and Anthony Vaccarello at Saint Laurent's Rive Droite during Miami Art Basel from November 29 to December 4 have revived the photos.

Large-format prints of the well-known book will be shown for the first time in a transient seaside box.

According to her fansite, Madonna will sign a small number of the new book's copies for a donation to the organisation Raising Malawi. T-shirts and tote bags will also be available for purchase at the exhibition.

With lyrics from her 1992 single Erotica, she teased the upcoming event with a seductive photograph of herself in a skintight, cleavage-baring corset.

"I'd like to put you in a trance," she wrote in the caption.
