Purple #39 - The New York Issue

Purple Fashion is a magazine that knows that having personality is about more than just being extroverted. Published in Paris under the eye of its charismatic Editor-In-Chief, Olivier Zahm, each issue is as decadent as his lifestyle is reported to be. Its articles and photo shoots ooze intimacy and somehow get inside places that many would dream to be. Indulgent? Perhaps. Typical? Definitely not. Purple Fashion manages to capture a ‘fashionable’ world in a way that subverts notions of superficiality and replaces it with a focus on personal expression and quality.

“Today, a new generation of artists, musicians, designers, gallerists, and writers are taking the city by storm. Determined to make it, even though NYC is now officially the most expensive city in the world. They find spaces further and further from Manhattan, from Brooklyn to upstate, even sometimes leaving to other places, while still thinking and breathing New York. But above all, New York is a state of mind. It remains the most creative, intellectual, fearless, and transgressive city in the United States, for better or worse – in spite of the underground art scene in Detroit. Miami and its international art fair, the art collections and museums in Houston and Dallas, San Francisco and its tech explosion, and of course the artificial paradise of Los Angeles that still attracts creatives.”
