Interview In Purple #33 The Brain Issue by Olivier Zahm and Savannah Nolan.

“I think that the issues that we’re seeing are just a bit too vast. Like the issues that are going to affect our children and this generation are too overwhelming to ignore. You know, you’re dealing with rampant racism, climate change, gender inequality, discrimination against the LGBTQ community — all these different things. And I think that what we did, we set a precedent where we decided that we were going to use fashion the way any artist would use a canvas, a painting, or a sculpture: this is going to be our medium, this is how we’re going to communicate. And that’s what I’ve been doing since I had my first brand — it was called Mary’s Jungle, back in, like, 2002” — Read the interview with Pyer Moss’s Kerby Jean-Raymond in Purple #33 The Brain Issue.

Purple is happy to share the work of David Hammons, an artist featured in Purple F/W 2016 issue #26.

“That's why I like doing stuff better on the street, because the art becomes just one of the objects that's in the path of your everyday existence. It's what you move through, and it doesn't have any seniority over anything else. Those pieces were all about making sure that the black viewer had a reflection of himself in the work. White viewers have to look at someone else's culture in those pieces and see very little of themselves in it.” — David Hammons in a rare interview from 1986
