PASSION, France

     PASSION, also known as PARIS PASSION, was an English-language city magazine in France that existed from 1981 to 1991. Its main editorial focus was on life in Paris for both residents and visitors. Launched on a shoestring budget as a 24-page black-and-white tabloid, Passion eventually evolved into a glossy 140-page magazine.
      PASSION was conceived as a forum for the written word and to showcase the visual side of Paris. It regularly published excellent photography and benefited from the pool of creative illustrators in Paris. The magazine’s use of strong eye-catching visuals on its large format covers was an influential part of its identity.
