Purple Prose 2
Second issue of Elein Fleiss and Olivier Zahm's Purple Prose, the Parisian literary art zine that began the world of Purple. Founded in 1992 as a reaction against the superficial glamour of the 1980’s, Purple Prose embraced the immediate fanzine aesthetics of what became referred to as 1990's anti-fashion, a far cry from what we now identify with Purple Fashion with.
