The cover of the Purple Fashion Magazine Spring 2012 issue stays true to the French magazine's name, with a perfectly plum front page combined with a jarringly symmetrical image of Aymeline Valade, Saskia de Brauw & Daria Strokous. The iconic French fashion magazine is styled by former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld, and features the hottest models of the season.
In addition to the ladies on the cover, top models Lindsey Wixson, Bambi Northwood Blyth, Joan Smalls, Candice Swanepoel and Sui He all make waves in the exquisite shoot. While the cover image features several bright outfits, the other images feature black and white looks that make the brightly painted walls become eye-catching backdrops. The models are wearing similar outfits in each shot, adding a loosely symmetrical vibe to the otherwise simply executed shoot.
