Purple N° 44, fall-winter 2025-2026
The Analog Issue

In an era where algorithms dictate taste and desire, where screens mediate experience, and digitaliza6on consumes the essence of culture, Purple Magazine takes a stand. We are witnessing the rapid dissolu6on of reality into the virtual—a world where ar6ficial intelligence supplants crea6vity, where an endless flow of ephemeral content replaces the depth of culture, and where the tangibility of art—the weight of a book, the texture of a pain6ng, the presence of an architectural volumes— vanishes into an immaterial void of simula6on.
This ANALOG Issue is not about nostalgia. It is about resistance. Resistance against the digital homogeniza6on of culture, against the illusion that art can be reduced to data, and against the slow erosion of physical experience in every aspect of life—from fashion to sexuality to poli6cs. This Fall Winter 2025 issue is a manifesto against the tyranny of the digital in art and fashion. It is a defense of print as a space for radical thought, beauty, and authen6c ar6s6c experience.
We will gather the voices that challenge digital hegemony, that ques6on the future of crea6vity in the age of AI, and that reaffirm the necessity of books, magazines, and all that resists instant consump6on and demands something deeper.
