Purple Fashion #46
Made from the spirit of the fan-zine and in the image of "anti-fashion", since 1992 Purple has been countering commercial superficiality through their avant-garde, intimately raw, high quality coverage on fashion photography, art, and culture.
In this issue: The Peace Issue
How do we make pacifism imaginable again? That forgotten and beautiful dream of the 1960s and ’70s? This issue does not offer a single answer. It sketches a direction. Or several that already exist in people, in artworks, in images, and in the conversations gathered for you in these pages. The first realization that came from making this issue was simple: peace could become, and perhaps should become, the ultimate priority. Whatever you do. Whoever you are. Wherever you are.
- Olivier Zahm, Editor
The latest issue of Purple examines peace as a subject, as an image, and as a symbol circulated through art history, protest iconography, celebrity, and luxury branding. Features include actress and director Natasha Lyonne, conceptual performance artist Marina Abramović, photographer Mark Borthwick, cook and writer Jago Rackham, and fashion designers Pierpaolo Piccioli and Rachel Scott; portraits by Juergen Teller, reprinted artwork and texts by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Jenny Holzer, Bruce Nauman, Hilma af Klint, Harmony Korine, Judith Butler, CAconrad, and many more.
