PpR IS AN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL CONCERNED WITH EXPERIENCES SURROUNDING FASHION AND CULTURE. IT ALLOWS CREATIVES TO OPERATE IN DISCIPLINES OTHER THAN THEIR OWN AND TO COLLABORATE ON IDEAS AND CONCEPTS. PpR DOES NOT SET OUT TO DICTATE OR PRESENT CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION, BUT TO COMMUNICATE A LANGUAGE OF TASTE EXISTING BETWEEN PEOPLE, CLOTHING AND OTHER CULTURAL DISCOURSES.
