Holiday Magazine – Issue 391 (Istanbul)

Holiday Magazine Issue 391 (Istanbul) is available now at LOREM (not Ipsum) and comes with different covers. On February 6 2023, terrible earthquakes struck southern Turkey and northwestern Syria. This catastrophic event shattered the lives of millions of people, with tens of thousands of victims, and wiped out entire towns. And, at the time of writing, the same areas and populations have now been subjected to deadly floods, which have taken dozens of lives. Faced with such destruction, sadness and fear, it has never been more difficult to complete an issue of Holiday.

For a time, we thought we’d give up, out of respect, on our issue devoted to Istanbul, which we’d been working on since October, putting into it the patience the city deserves and the fascination it inspires. Despite everything, however, we wanted to pay tribute to the battered beauty of Turkey and of a city straddling two continents that has blended cultures, religions, aesthetics and, above all, lives like no other place for centuries.

In its pages, the writer Emma Becker delivers her account of a memorable journey to Istanbul. The designer Hussein Chalayan and the artist Server Demirtaş share their thoughts in interviews. The photographer Sabiha Çimen describes the inspirations for some of her unique images, while the journalists Jenna Scatena, Jennifer Hattam and Rüzgar Mehmet Akgün delve into the stories behind the legendary Turkish baths, the Grand Bazaar and nightlife in Beyoğlu.

Alongside them, the photographers Felipe Romero Beltrán, Olivier Kervern, Alessandro Furchino Capria and Mario Sorrenti offer up their visions of the city once known as Byzantium and Constantinople, while Anthony Seklaoui recreates a Levantine fantasy, Takashi Homma creates an aesthetic bridge between Japan and Turkey, and Jean Marie Del Moral reflects on the everlasting presence of the last great Ottoman palaces.

The magazine comes in a spectacular XXL size format with a weight of 1.5 kilogram. Discover Holiday Magazine Issue 391 (Istanbul) on loremnotipsum.com.

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.
