Cover Confidential: Olivier Zahm on His Favorite "Purple" Covers

Founded in 1992, Purple Magazine was created with intent to break from glamorous '80s iconography with realistic fashion photography contributions from the likes of Juergen Teller, Terry Richardson, and indie designers. Here, editor Olivier Zahm shows us his favorite covers. SPRING/SUMMER 2006: "This cover means a lot to me, because it was one of the first steps towards my friendship with Carine Roitfeld," explains Zahm. "Her son made this T-shirt for her before she even began working at Vogue apparently! The story that went along with this cover is really a great insight into the way Carine sees women, the way she poses and her gestures here are so emblematic of her as a woman. She told me that I would see that this cover would bring me luck! And I think she did, because after this cover, Purple really became more successful."
