FOCO Interview with Elein Fleiss
‘Niche' magazines generally refer to topic-specific titles about cars, interiors, fashion, pets, helicopters, or pets flying helicopters in amazing fashion. This kind of niche is for people that know what they want and don't want to have to look too hard to find it.
Then, thankfully, there is the other kind of niche publication, like Les Cahiers Purple, which is much harder to find and is about an approach to content and not just the content itself. Les Cahiers Purple is about everything, written, photographed and illustrated in a way that makes it far from just anything.
As the extension of Purple Journal, and the diversion away from Purple Fashion, Les Cahiers Purple has the subtlety, sophistication and poetry expected from Editor-in-chief Elein Fleiss. By embracing the global through highlighting the local, exploring overlooked elements of the everyday like ‘hard work', and articulating craftsmanship and passion through unexpected profiles, Les Cahiers Purple speaks a secret language for those who will listen - and, in case you were wondering, that language isn't just French.
