Holiday Magazine: Interiors and Gardens – Issue 1 (Season)

Holiday Magazine Issue “Interiors and Gardens” (Season) is available now at LOREM (not Ipsum) and comes with different covers. Yes, it has found a new lease of life in France since 2014, but since its birth in 1946 on the other side of the Atlantic, Holiday has never lost sight of the innovative concept that set it apart from all the other magazines: combining literary journalismand artistic photography.

A magazine in which travel was merely the ideal pretext to give life to this vision, and additionally offered the luxury of time—to discover, observe and dream. For indeed, Holiday is an interlude suspended in time, where since the beginning, the idea has been neither to regret the past not to fantasize about the future, but to savor the path between the two, as Jack Kerouac, one of the magazine’s many prestigious contributors, used to say. So it is with these founding principles—the ones that have made it legendary and still give it such a special place—in mind that we have created Holiday Interiors and Gardens.

For interior decoration requires almost as much curiosity as travel and, in its own way, enables us to traverse eras, styles, cultures and continents. Besides, it is a free discipline that loves to break down the boundaries between creative fields. As proof, just think of interiors designed by Balthus and Cy Twombly, furniture crafted by Francis Bacon and Paul Poiret, Dante Ferretti’s set decors for Pasolini and

Scorsese movies, or even simply the sofa covered with Persian carpets in Sigmund Freud’s consulting room. All of them have stood the test of time and seem to defy trends. Holiday too.

The magazine has always striven to demonstrate that beauty is not a subject but rather a point of view. And here is ours, which you will discover on these pages: interiors, gardens and objects, through the words of the writers and the gaze of the photographers who inspire us and have enabled us to give life to this new adventure.

The magazine comes in a spectacular XXL size format with a weight over 1 kilogram.

Holiday Magazine is an english travel publication from France. Between 1946 and 1977, Holiday was one of the most exciting magazines in the United States. Reknowned for its fun layout, its challenging choice of photographers, and the aura of its writers, Holiday was telling about the world like no other magazine. Its strength ? Sending a writer and a photographer to a singular destination, distant or nearby, and asking them to tell from their point of view without constraints of style, objectiveness or length. Nor budgetary limit. At the top of its game, the magazine had more than a million subscribers. Today, 37 years after, Holiday returns at the instigation of the Atelier Franck Durand. This new Holiday wants to capture the essence, the esthetic demands and the sense of journalistic adventure of its original version. A mixed magazine, blending fashion and reporting, Holiday remains demanding regarding both pictures and stories.

Hence, through Holiday, its coverages, fashion editorials or porfolios, reknowned photographers will mix with emerging talents with strong imagery. Main stories will be written by top names, journalists or writers. Finally, the idea of sending a writer on an extended report to deliver his or her vision of a place will remain the underlying theme linking the original Holiday to its new version. Holiday is a magazine written in english, but it’s heart is french. The team who conceives, designs and produces Holiday Magazine is based in Paris.
