Purple

Begun in Paris in 1992, the magazines with purple in their titles -- Purple Fashion, Purple Fiction, and Purple Prose -- have since gone on to be recognized internationally as the freshest, most cutting edge phenomena in art, photo, writing, and fashion journalism. This year marked the magazines combination into one chunky paperback, entitled, naturally. Purple. With contributions from Europe, America, and Asia, Purple's global perspective has transformed contemporary magazine style. Past contributors from the photo, fashion, literary, art, and music communities have included Martin Margiela, Susan Cianciolo, Helmut Lang, Comme des Garcons, Hussein Chalayan, Mark Borthwick, Terry Richardson, Anders Edstrom, D'Antek, Harmony Korine, Maurizio Cattelan, Lee Rinaldo, and many more.
