The man behind Purple magazine is the chronicler of his generation,
exposing the lifestyles of the creative elite through his intimate,
autobiographical photographs. Purple magazine has gained cult
status during the span of its twenty-year history, and its editor
Olivier Zahm has become a celebrity in the international fashion
world. Notorious for his obsessive photographic documentation of
his life and surroundings, which he shares daily with a huge fan
base on his blog purple DIARY, Zahm said to the New York Times in
2010, Even in the bedroom I have my camera, I sleep with my camera,
I have lunch with my camera, I go to dinner with my camera and I'm
recording my experience. Presented in the form of a free-flowing
personal scrapbook, the book follows Zahm through a fantasyland
populated by the artists, socialites, models, and celebrities who
regularly appear in his magazine, such as Terry Richardson, Karl
Lagerfeld, Andre Saraiva, Dash Snow, Lindsay Lohan, Chloe Sevigny,
Daphne Guinness, Carine Roitfeld, Nate Lowman, Leigh Lezark, and
Kate Moss. His idealistic belief in creative and sexual freedom is
made evident in the many nude portraits of female friends and
lovers. This voluminous book is an important historical document of
our times, exposing the lifestyle and inspirations behind Purple
magazine, which has had a profound influence on the approach to
contemporary fashion photography.
