Onto the last pic i have chosen for you from Amazon. It's a special collectors issue of Purple magazine. The reason i selected this magazine is because i am taking the high road and promoting a magazine that has just recently endured alot of uproar within the fashion community. I honestly feel that supporting the magazine despite the big hulla bulu, shows that although i disagree about the comments made towards fashion bloggers, etc., i have no ill will against Purple magazine. Olivier Zahm of Purple magazine who was quoted in a video at a recent fashion show, wanting to kill all bloggers ... especially fashion bloggers !!! In the video clip, Terry Richardson (long time friend of mine and great guy) pokes his head out from beside Olivier when he makes the statement about bloggers and looks quite shocked and a bit confused as to why Olivier would say such a thing. As far as i'm concerned, fashion blogs are like mini online fashion magazines and cater to those of us who spend alot of time on the internet and find it hard to catch a moment to read a magazine. They also serve the purpose of providing the inside scoop in the fashion world that you might not otherwise find in a magazine and of course they provide a forum for followers to express their own opinions about a particular topic. Perhaps he feels that fashion bloggers are his competition and that's why he said such derogatory comments about us. I think that for Olivier to say something so mean spirited towards fashion bloggers, (who take alot of their material from fashion mags), will hurt his business in the long run. I believe that fashion bloggers are about a 1/4 of his business. Do you think Olivier Zahm cut off his nose to spite his face ? Perhaps he did ... watch the video on Tony Wangs fashion blog http://postfashionism.com/2010/kill-all-the-bloggers/ to decide for yourself.
