Purple Diary

from March 1st - April 3rd.

Spending his time between Paris and New York, the man behind Purple Fashion magazine, Olivier Zahm, launched Purple Diary (link) almost a year ago. His pictures can be read as a guide to his favorite places: the Montana, the Brasserie Lipp, and the Café de Flore in Paris, Standard hotel and the Omen restaurant in NY. His diary, figurative as it is, complements the magazine and holds up a mirror to our times. Find Natacha, Aurel, Camille, Jennifer, Caroline, Irina, Olympia, André, Terry and many others, but also food, street, nature and all the things that might attract this night owl. For his first French exhibition, Olivier Zahm has selected from more than 10,000 photos taken since 2005, first for WOW and Purple Night magazines.

He likes cuts and effects; the pleated, draped and experiment a new theme this season, the reptile impression.
