Purple Fashion 4 - Winter 1998
The last Purple fashion single issue before the magazine amalgamated into one, and then divided again in 2004. Lots of super Bernadette Corporation, Mark Borthwick, Hussein Chalayan, Viktor & Rolf, Helmut Lang by Terry Richardson, Bless, streetstyle a la 1998, Margiela, the new Selfridges etc. Great.
Purple Fashion 3 - Summer 1997
Early Purples really sum up the anti fashion aesthetic of the late nineties, and this is no exception. So, we have at least 200 pages which include a brilliant Margiela piece, super work by Camille Vivier, Maurizio Cattelan, Elein Fleiss, Terry Richardson, Susan Ciancolo, Anders Edstrom, a super Kim Gordon/Mark Borthwick piece, Comme des Garcons by Borthwick and so on. So amazing.
L'Hiver de L'Amour Bis
Brilliant 1994 book from the exhibition of the same name, curated by Purple magazine titans Zahm and Fleiss. Shows some super Margiela work, Larry Clark, Viktor & Rolf, Inez van Lamsweerde, Dike Blair, Carsten Holler, Alix Lambert, Wolfgang Tillmans, General Idea, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Anders Edstrom etc. So basically an exhibition of what would have appeared in Purple at the time. Design negation at its best.
