Dear Olivier, Congratulations on 30 years of Purple! We started out almost at the same time, around 1993. With Purple, you provided us with a window into a world without boundaries. Where art, fashion and literature all breathed the same air. At the same time, it felt like a home. Purple gave us a sense of belonging: to Paris, to fashion and when you invited us to participate in the exhibition ‘L’Hiver de l’amour’, also to art. You gave us the cover of one of Purple’s very first issues. Did we ever thank you properly for it? We would like to do so now. Thank you Olivier, for everything. Your support meant the world to us. It helped to shape our world actually. What an achievement for you, to be relentlessly new yet so consistent at the same time. <3 VR
