If all the magazines in the world had to be destroyed and I could save only one, it would have to be Purple. This French magazine is always on the cutting edge of fashion photography and the creme of cool.
Perhaps Mario Sorrenti on a bed of meat will put somebody off; nevertheless, I think it shows balls to go all the way. Why hold back when you can have a naked meat orgy in the name of fashion photography? Oh the life of a creative photographer!
I love this Purple issue #10 with Kate Moss on the cover photographed by Mario Sorrenti. Also featured in this issue is work by Terry Richardson, Hilary Rhoda by Katja Rahlwes, the attractive woman with the petal banana. Go purple, go.
