Purple Magazine Closes New York Office

by Natalie Hormilla

purple magazine cover racey.jpgRemember back in May when Purple quietly started opening their New York office?

Well, just as quietly it seems, the office closed.

The stateside outpost of the beloved French magazine closed back in November, no doubt due to the crappy economic conditions.

Hopefully, this doesn’t necessarily mean Purple itself is in danger of closing.

Stay tuned…

UPDATE: A Purple spokeswoman says their New York office is still “up and running,” and that Purple “is not closing”…

Have you checked the site? It says:

The publication of Purple Journal will be interrupted till 2009. You'll find informations about the new publishing dates at :
http://purplejournalnews.blogspot.com/

And on the blog there's nothing new since that post almost a year ago.

I have a really cool job opportunity available for a fashion-savvy person in the NYC or Philadelphia area. Below is the description. Please contact me at tracy@lorel.com by Thursday, 1/15. Please pass this along to anybody you know who might be good for the position!

FREELANCE FASHION STYLE EDITOR / WRITER / PERSONALITY

Lorél Marketing Group is in the process of establishing a new creative expression platform for one of its premiere clients, King of Prussia Mall.

King of Prussia Mall is the largest retail shopping destination in the eastern United States, offering the discriminating shopper an exceptional selection of luxury department stores not readily accessible elsewhere in the region. Among them, Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Thomas Pink, along with more than 400 other retail brands and rewarding dining experiences.

A core, intricate component to the new creative platform is the introduction of a brand ambassador for King of Prussia Mall. A ‘Brand Muse,’ if you will. A savvy, fashion-minded personality with energy and style. Our Muse may best be recruited as a rising star or established fashion editor, stylist and/or lifestyle personality with fashion credentials to support her candidacy and consideration.

She (or he) knows and can easily relate fashion, trends, wardrobe must-haves and the can't-live-withouts. We’d like her to become all about "Smart Luxury" for women, men, personal care, the home, dining, gifting, teens and kids.

She will come to know the Mall end-to-end. Who has what. Where the values are. What's a great buy right now, and what's just around the trend corner. Where the exciting discoveries are. What brands are most innovative.

She's sharp, informative and value-conscious. She's creative, articulate, lively and animated. She has camera and voice presence. She will be the personality, voice and face of all King of Prussia content messaging and be featured in advertising and promotions for the 2009 spring and holiday shopping seasons.

The person selected will be contracted and compensated by Lorél Marketing Group.

Erm, King Of Prussia, can I pre-emptively sue you for gender discrimination for the fact that you constantly mention that you are looking for a 'she' in your ad?
