Time flies — seems like most of us have barely realized that it’s 2020 already! If you enjoy getting all nostalgic about the past or dreaming about the future or just looking at things from the perspective of time, the #003 PH print issue is right for you. “Decades” is devoted to the artistic perception of the category of time — visual and associative and so sensual.

editor’s note DEAR FRIENDS This year the publication of the #003 print edition of Purplehaze Fashion and Arts Magazine coincided with the coming of spring. Here we are, feeling young and inspired and anticipating the most beautiful time of the year. Although, can some of the times be considered better than the others? Probably, yes, in our personal perception, based on a unique experience. Still, there are some recognizable traits about each time period that make it different from the other — that’s how decades are shaped in the collective cultural belief. The new print edition of PH is just about that — how art, photography and design have gifted distinctive features to time frames so that now we have different associations with the period of the 50s and the 80s, for instance. Personally, I find Time an exciting topic to speculate on, so I hope all our contributors felt the same while creating works for this Decades Issue. I wish a pleasant reading to all who are with us. Stay inspired!
Yours, Irina Rusinovich Editor In Chief PURPLEHAZE

Contributors, if you had a choice, which decade would you want to live in? And why? Lilya Bondarenko /p h o t o g r a p h e r / @ bussardel As a person devoted to art, I would like to go back to the time of real creative discoveries. Such a discovery for me, for example - was the new look style, which triumphantly appeared on the world’s catwalks thanks to the brilliant fashion designer Christian Dior. The 50s of the twentieth century in France were very different from the way of life of the Soviet Union. As a child born in the USSR, this is very familiar to me.
The rigid framework, the lack of fashion as such, and the suppression of dissent do not make me want to go back to the past of my country. It is quite another matter in European countries, where art was born. I would like not only to witness creative experiments and discoveries, but also to be a direct participant in events that changed the world and the course of history.
Diana Loseva /d e s i g n e r / @medianaaadi As for me - a person who is looking for inspiration in different eras, it is important to integrate visual and conceptual solutions of different decades into my work. Perhaps now is the moment, where we are approaching the realization that the succession and symbiosis of cultures can be the beginning of a productive future in all areas.
Dusya Sobol /p h o t o g r a p h e r / @dusiasobol I like to be here and now, exactly at the time where I live now. I found the period of the 90s with the crazy vision and experiments of photographers. Two thousand years, the heyday of the digital era of photography, filled with aesthetics and taste.

Sabine Grodd /p h o t o g r a p h e r / @ sabine_grodd The emancipation of women, the diversity of today’s forms of life, the relaxation of manners is not without the rebellion of student youth in the 1960s. Therefore, the 60s are one of the defining times and I am very interested and I would like to take a little trip back in the time. There was also a lot going on - Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, Tina Turner etc.
The gospel, soul and R&B elements such as pop or jazz had their very own sound. The first moon landing with Apollo 11 took place in 1969 and the Woodstock Festival of the hippie movement. It must have been a great time, if not always easy, but what a decade it is.
Katya Wrapped /p h o t o g r a p h e r / @ katya_warped I like living in our time. With all the ensuing pros and cons – although very slowly, society is becoming more tolerant.
Olesya Parfenuyk /p h o t o g r a p h e r / @ olesyaparfenyuk The 1850s. It was a time of great innovations, including the collodion process I am very interested in. Being generally fascinated by art, fashion, literature and architecture of the 19th century, I enjoy collecting antiques and curiosities from that time I find on flea markets and to visit places that make me step back in time. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era.
