Holiday Magazine – Number 394: New York Issue

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND STYLE REVIEW

Holiday is an international, bi-annual publication. The team who conceives, designs and produces the magazine is based is in Paris. It is written in English, but its heart French.

Between 1946 and 1977, Holiday was one of the most exciting magazines in the United States. Renowned for its bold layout, literary credibility, and ambitious choice of photographers, Holiday portrayed the world like no other periodical. The premise was simple: send a writer and photographer to a specific location and ask them to capture their vision of the place without constraints of style, length or budget. Some of the most celebrated writing by Graham Greene, Joan Didion, Jack Kerouac and Truman Capote first appeared in the pages of Holiday. At the peak of its acclaim, the magazine had more than a million subscribers.

In 2014, after a thirty-seven year hiatus, Holiday returned at the behest of Parisian art director Franck Durand. This new Holiday remains faithful to the essence, aesthetic and sense of journalistic adventure of its forebear, but in a format that also celebrates fashion. Editorials shot by industry-leading photographers, and emerging talents alike, coexist beautifully with the work of today's top literary voices. And true to its original concept, Holiday still sends contributors afield to produce a portrait of place that is at once intimate and timeless.

The New York Issue

Descending from the heights of Nepal, Holiday magazine celebrates the tenth anniversary of its rebirth by heading west for a unique issue on the ultimate city: New York. The journey is guest-edited by Camilla Nickerson, who takes us on a tour of her adopted home through the eyes of those she admires. Hilton Als writes about Diane Arbus in Manhattan, Ottessa Moshfegh revisits the characters in her novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Joan Didion leaves New York once again in a posthumous reprint of her quintessential essay Goodbye to All That, Marc Jacobs opens up to Tommy Dorfman, and Andrea Whittle describes a day in Francesco and Alba Clemente's family home and recounts their New York saga. And those are just a few of the highlights.

As for the photographers, Zoë Ghertner, collaborating with Camilla Nickerson, displays her gift for using light and expressing sensuality; Mark Borthwick documents Susan Cianciolo's latest work in his inimitable way; and Joel Meyerowitz lets us explore his works on New York, some of which have never been published. Jack Day, Max Farago, Olivier Kervern, Liv Liberg, Dougal MacArthur, Mario Sorrenti, Gray Sorrenti, Guido Palau, Nigel Shafran, Senta Simond, Stanislas Motz-Neidhart and Robin Galiegue also offer us their visions of New York as a haven for unheard voices.

Welcome to the world's shore.
