Issue 9 of Purple Prose, an independent magazine founded in Paris, France by Ellen Fleiss and Olivier Zahm. This issue is centered around "Sports, Japan, Independents" and is a symbolic early Purple issue, incorporating art, photography, music, fashion, and Tokyo culture from the mid-1990s without genre boundaries. Of particular note is Ellen Fleiss's interview with Yurie Nagashima. This is a valuable article that shows how Purple was quick to take notice of Nagashima at the time when a new photographic expression called "girl photography" emerged in Japan. It also includes an 8-page photo portfolio "How Much" by Wolfgang Tillmans, who was still in the process of establishing his international reputation at the time. In addition, young artists who would later become leading figures in contemporary art, such as Mariko Mori, Dominique Gonzalez-Forster, Pierre Huyghe, and Vanessa Beecroft, appear in the magazine. Rather than introducing established artists, Purple's unique editorial approach of capturing new, unnamed contemporary sensibilities in real time is clearly evident in the Summer 1995 issue, making it an interesting read for understanding the deepening relationship between Purple and Japanese photography and fashion culture.
