Based on their personal interests and views; ''Purple'' was, and in a sense still is, made much in the same spirit of the fanzine. The magazine became associated with the "realism" of the new fashion photography of the 1990s, with names like Juergen Teller, Terry Richardson, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Mario Sorrenti.Zahm, Olivier; Purple Anthology 1992/2006; Purple Fashion, Fall Winter 2008/09; Purple Institute, Paris 2008; p.68-69 In the introduction of the ''Purple Anthology'', Zahm writes: In 2004 it divided into ''Purple Fashion'' publi ...
