With an impressive track record, Purple is a hefty hardcover magazine that has been printed in France since 1992. Today, it stands as a benchmark not only within the fashion world but also in the realm of niche periodical publishing. Purple has spanned generations, covering art, fashion, and culture.

The magazine was founded by Olivier Zahm and Elein Fleiss, who, during the era of glossy magazines, openly opposed the superficial glamour of the 1980s. Purple captures a fashionable world in a way that subverts notions of superficiality, replacing them with a focus on personal expression and quality.
