How much does this cost in the states? Can this be ordered online?

You can buy Purple from the American Apparel website. The current issue costs $22.00.

Thank you LucyInTheSky!

Clemence Poesy

Also, is Purple worth twenty-two dollars? Is it very thick?

 

[nanker_phledge]

Yeah, like Self Service.
Besides, the quality of the magazine makes it worth the price.

Purple here costs 40 dollars here and worths every single cent, it's thick, but it doesn't matter the size, the content is what is important!

 

[rollagasper]

Purple really has a penchant for nudity, huh?

And I think the mag is worth $22, just because it's quite thick and the paper is really great quality. I bought my purple last time for 36 CAD. But sometimes the content isn't all very strong, so wait till the previews come up before ordering, probably.

I'm looking forward to this!

 

[mikel]

this is beyond exciting!

especially the I&V nude ed.

this is the 9th issue of Purple ^

I think you're right, but it's only the 9th issue of the current 'state' purple is is right now (sorry, it's really late and I can't find a better word), so in the end this is like the 20th issue or something.

 

[unipine]

this looks great, as usual. American Apparel can be very slow with their deliveries but i'll definitely be placing an order.

thanks for posting MMA!

It all started with Purple Prose in October 1992. Then came Purple Fiction, Purple Fashion, Purple Sexe, Purple Books, Purple Products and Purple. In 2004 Purple became two different publications...Purple Fashion & Purple Journal.

Beyond belief -- the contents sound amazing as well!

 

[Starry]

The content seems very promising.
So surprised to see Suvi on the cover!

 

[klaxod pels]

Very excited to see the Hong Kong photos.

All the content sound really promising! Hopefully it will deliver!

yes MMA...
and if I can add... Purple was firstly an Art publication...
Olivier Zahm is (was) part of a new generation of young french art critic...with Nicolas Bourriaud (ex co-director of Palais de Tokyo and art critic), Eric Troncy (co-director of Le COnsortium and art critic), Franck Perrin (Crash) etc.

I think Scott was talking about Purple...
The one who started to get published by 98, i think...
it was first a mix of art and fashion.... then it became very fashion oriented.... because Olivier was more and more interested in Fashion....
I remember DieselMax scanned an itw of Zahm.... maybe you'll find more infos in this....

Ooh, I didn't pay attention, but Purple Books is a edition group (for instance Elysian Fields is the catalogue of the exhibition of Zahm and Fleiss in Pompidou - a very good exhibit') and Purple Products is mainly some products from Purple.... not a magazine...

Summer 1998...there were 16 issues total & yes...Purple Products were limited editions such as wristbands, pouchette, CD etc.



EDIT: We are venturing a bit off topic with this...we should stay on topic about this issue...perhaps we can start a thread the history of purple or some suchI'll dig up my old issues & see what I have
