Incredible!
I really regret not buying the previous issue the first time I saw it because it was all sold out really quickly.

I start to like cover, it's her first big cover I guess.

I love Suvi, but this was still quite a surprise! She looks amazing! Sorrenti is fantastic.

The contents look great; can't wait.

Clemence looks hot. Can't wait for the scans

I love how some magazines are so open with nudity and some are incredibly conservative.I think it's something that should be embraced if done tastefully.

Anyways, I kind of like this, who designed the roped skirt/pants?

It's funny that you mentioned this because it goes for readers as well. I didn't even notice that the model's entire chest was out until you mentioned it.

Does anyone know when this is out?

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

that would be very interesting!

The previews look very good.

purple used to only be 25 dollars when i was ordering through their site. but you're right,berlin. i think all between 98 and 2004,when they switched their formats to include all of their subjects into one issue were the strongest as far as really stupendous fashion content is concerned. some of my fondest memories were the stories they did on jurgi persoons....lutz styled with prada...cosmic wonder. they've always flirted with big brands,i know but it was always with an esoteric approach. i just dunno about these recent issues though. it just doesn't have the same spirit they had before. i think now Crash has taken their place.

Can't wait to buy it...!!!!!

Thanks MMA & ASF
