PURPLE #45 – The New Glamour Issue – SS 2026

PURPLE #45, The New Glamour Issue, is a print publication dedicated to contemporary fashion, photography, and visual culture. The issue examines the construction of glamour as an image system shaped by media production, celebrity, branding, and artistic direction. Editorial projects, photographic portfolios, and collaborations are organized through a multi-cover format, positioning each cover as an independent visual statement within the publication.

The issue includes seventeen covers featuring artists, fashion houses, performers, and photographers working across fashion and contemporary art. Cover projects include Laurie Simmons; Jordan Roth photographed by Steven Klein; Gucci with Petit directed by Gaspar Noé; Linder Sterling; Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello photographed by Inez & Vinoodh; Burberry with Lou Doillon; Balenciaga with Mona Tougaard; Givenchy by Sarah Burton with Pauline Schubach; Valextra by Olivier Zahm; Francesco Vezzoli; Paris Texas with Paloma Elsesser; Loewe by Joshua Woods; Born in Roma Valentino; Prada photographed by Torbjørn Rødland; Clash de Cartier by Olivier Zahm; Tom Ford with Cameron Russell photographed by Venetia Scott; and the Anthony Vaccarello ten-year anniversary at Saint Laurent.

Through fashion editorials, interviews, and image-based contributions, the issue addresses glamour as a contemporary production model connected to authorship, identity, luxury branding, and visual consumption. Photography functions as both documentation and construction, while the multi-cover structure expands the publication into a distributed editorial archive.
