Purple Fashion Magazine Issue 33: The Brain Issue (Volume IV)

Spring/Summer 2020, the Brain issue and the last of Volume IV, built around attention, connection and what screens have done to both.

Jeff Rian writes on the online brain, Mark Alizart on the world brain, Emanuele Coccia on what plants know, Éric Troncy on what has been lost in a world of connection, Joshua Decter on the post-brain and John Jefferson Selve on the attention economy. Daphna Joel writes on sex and the brain and Alejandro Jodorowsky on the cosmic one. Olivier Zahm interviews Gus Van Sant, Daniel Arsham, Carsten Höller, Sadhguru, Genesis Belanger, Harold Ancart, Dike Blair, Brad Phillips and Catherine Malabou. New York labels get their own pages, among them Telfar, Pyer Moss, Ottolinger and Puppets and Puppets. Juergen Teller shoots Balenciaga, Mario Sorrenti files "New York State of Mind" and Colin Dodgson shoots Miu Miu.

Thirteen covers, one of them by Paul McCarthy, close out the volume Purple had opened with its twenty-fifth anniversary issue three years earlier.
