PURPLE FASHION MAGAZINE ISSUE 8 2007/8

£45.00

Issue 8 ushers in a potent dialogue between fashion, art and youthful sub-culture. Anchored in the Fall/Winter 2007/08 mood, this volume of Purple Fashion mixes bold visuals, raw energy and unexpected creative pairings.

Within its pages:

  • The “Best of the Season” fashion spread by photographer Terry Richardson presents Karen O in an electric, irreverent pose — not a model anymore but a rock-icon incarnate, refusing the usual constraints of fashion imagery. Purple+1

  • A photo-essay titled “Around the World” by Noritoshi Hirakawa explores voyeurism, ambiguity and youth in urban landscapes across cities such as Paris, Los Angeles and São Paulo. Purple

Issue 8 exemplifies Purple’s ethos: the blending of high fashion with underground attitude; the celebration of artistic voice as equally at home in couture or the street; an editorial vision where glamour and grit co-exist.

For collectors and lovers of cross-disciplinary style, this issue stands out as a vivid artifact of its moment — the late 2000s, when fashion was shifting, subcultures were merging and visual identity was being re-defined.
