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 a photographer to a specific location and ask them to capture their vision of the place without constraints on style, length, or budget. Some of the most celebrated writings by Graham Greene, Joan Didion, Jack Kerouac, and Truman Capote first appeared within its pages. At the height of its fame, the magazine boasted over a million subscribers.
In 2014, after a thirty-seven-year hiatus, Holiday returned at the behest of Parisian art director Franck Durand.
Holiday remains faithful to the essence, aesthetic, and sense of journalistic adventure of its predecessors, but in a format that also celebrates fashion. Editorials by industry-leading photographers and emerging talents coexist beautifully with work from today’s finest literary voices. True to its original concept, Holiday still sends contributors to produce a portrait of a place that is both intimate and timeless.
Holiday is a biannual international publication. The team that conceives, designs, and produces the magazine is based in Paris. It is written in English, but its heart is French.
