Purple

$119.95

A truly unique title with amazing production values, the decadently indulgent and subversive Purple Fashion is published in Paris under the eye of its charismatic editor-in-chief Olivier Zahm. Featuring photo shoots that ooze intimacy, Purple Fashion manages to capture a "fashionable" world in a way that subverts notions of superficiality, replacing them with a focus on personal expression and quality. 

*Please note Purple magazine features multiple different covers. Unless specified, actual covers may vary from those displayed. If you'd like to specify which cover you receive, please contact us PRIOR to purchase.

 

What's inside this issue?

This Spring/Summer 2026 issue, themed ‘New Glamour’, explores the ever-evolving illusion of glamour—a powerful tool of influence since the dawn of civilisation—tracing its trajectory across popular culture from the late twentieth century to the present day in an attempt to decode its contemporary form. Rather than fuelling a modern obsession with nostalgia, editor Olivier Zham positions the issue as an attempt to tap into glamour’s ‘transformative power… to seduce and disturb, to awaken desire against normalisation and digital hallucination, and to dream again of a cosmic future guided by new stars - or anti-stars.’

Woven throughout the issue, you’ll find a collection of ‘Notes on Glamour’ from the likes of Junya Watanabe, Vaquera, Raul Lopez, Duran Lantink, Dilara Findikoglu and more—a reinterpretation of Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking ‘Notes on Camp’ (an excerpt of which is also printed inside); Jean Baudrillard’s 1979 text ‘Seduction’, which unveils the necessary artifice of the pursuit of desire; and short-form features exploring radical works by Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Claude Cahun, Barbara Hepworth, Linda Sterling and Richard Prince. Elsewhere, Patti Smith takes lessons from Vogue, Anthony Vaccarello reminisces on ten years at the helm of Saint Laurent, and Olivier interviews legendary Spanish designer Miguel Androver, New York drag artist Christeene Vale, Italian avant-garde filmmaker Francesco Vezzoli and American jewellery designer Betony Vernon.
