Violet Book
Violet Book is a biannual British art and fashion magazine launched in 2014 by Leith Clark. Clark, who served as both the founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine, created the publication as a reaction to "the way youth is over-celebrated."[1]
Violet Book also publishes an international edition, Violet Book Japan, which is also biannual.
History[edit]
The inaugural issue was published in April 2014 and featured actress Brit Marling on the cover. Alexa Chung, a former roommate of Clark's is the only woman to have appeared on both the UK and Japanese editions of Violet Book.
Clark made it a part of the mandate of the magazine to commission work from women creatives stating " I think the female gaze is lacking in most creative fields and it’s a unique one – especially when it’s looking at women."[2]
The magazine also features frequent contributor Amanda de Cadenet.[3]
International Editions[edit]
In 2017 Violet Book released their first Japanese edition, Violet Book Japan, with Rinko Kikuchi as their cover star.
