I think the bear in question has a skin infection - it was painted with something called gentian violet - an old 'antibiotic' - which should cure the problem!
It's not a fashion statement!

I think it is a fake as even it's black muzzle has turned purple and that has no hair on it

Muzzle are quite susceptible to colour change anyway. They are black due to skin pigment. If the bears pigment is all out of whack due to antibiotics or whatever then the nose could easily change colour.
Some unethical owners of show dogs with light fur get their noses tatooed to ensure they stay black!

If it's not a mocked up photo.... then why have the stones in the background and a few other things turned a delicate shade of lilac too? 
Perhaps its an optical illusion and i'm seeing purple everywhere after scrutinising the bear for so long to check for evidence of photoshop etc manipulation or the bear's been rubbing itself a bit too roughly on the rocks coz it's got an itch from the dermatitis?
Do i care?

Some of the bars are purple as well.
Though that might just be a picture of any bear ananova have used to show a purple bear.

I'm pretty sure that a polar bears skin, as opposed to its hair is black all over.

Mmmmmm.. just seen the CBS news clip..... looks fairly real to me.....
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/...in563855.shtml
Am currently eating humble pie.... and it tastes yuk :p
But the bars and rocks still look purple to me in places... but then the colour may be have been 'enhanced' for the photo shots... bit like all the other models in the news :p
