Purple Magazine: The Love Issue

This issue does not try to reaffirm love as a moral or traditional value. Rather, it explores different kinds of love, new representations of love between people of all genders. What might be a new figure of love, beyond the couple, beyond duality, and also include freedom, multiplicity, intimacy, secrets, complexity, vulnerability, gender fluidity? In this regard, how is the feminist revolution radically changing our idea of love?

Love is for everyone. A person can love their community as a family, the beauty of which recalls the synergy of one plus one becoming many. That’s the power of love. Love is a human obsession. Love is transformative, but it’s always personal. It’s about one person changing another person’s life, and vice-versa. This is especially true in so-called successful couples. John Lennon’s song “God” ends with, “I just believe in me / Yoko and me.” He doesn’t believe in people, just love.

Purple Fashion is a magazine that knows that having personality is about more than just being extroverted. Published in Paris under the eye of its charismatic Editor-In-Chief, Olivier Zahm, each issue is as decadent as his lifestyle is reported to be.
