About Purple Magazine

Founded in Paris in 1992 by Olivier Zahm and Elein Fleiss, Purple began as a reaction against the superficial, highly commercialized fashion media of the 1980s. Blurring the lines between raw counterculture snapshot photography, contemporary fine art, and high fashion, the magazine became a vital launching pad for the “heroin chic” aesthetic and anti-fashion movements of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Vintage issues remain highly collectible archival references for fashion historians.
