Holiday Magazine – Number 395: Zurich Issue

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND STYLE REVIEW

Attention: Comes with small damages (I can send pictures)!

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 ZURICH ISSUE

After the streets of New York, Holiday magazine dives into the secrets of Zurich. Tyler Brulé describes his adopted city to Dan Thawley, the legendary restaurant Kronenhalle opens its doors for a rare and marvelous visit, the novelist Avril Bénard offers us a brand-new tale inspired by her journey to Switzerland, the photographer Walter Pfeiffer and the filmmaker Christoph Schaub open up to Christopher Niquet and Renata Mosci, Paul-Henry Bizon recounts the saga of the unique Museum Rietberg, and Violaine Epitalon spells out the ABCs of the Dada movement, which was born in Zurich. What's more, the city’s inhabitants themselves speak out on their views of their hometown and, as always, we offer our ideas for the perfect week there.

We also look at this place of whispers, elegance with a blade and revolutions through the eye of the camera. Senta Simond offers us a portfolio documenting her local friends, Liv Liberg captures the allure of Zurich women styled by Imruh Asha, and Drew Vickers that of the homegrown model Vivienne Rohner. Other photographic studies of the city present the visions of Olivier Kervern, François Halard, Lina Scheynius, Felipe Romero Beltrán, Hart Lëshkina, Federico Torra, Harry Crowder, Yann Faucher, Tess Petronio, Deo Suveera and Pamela Dimitrov. Last but not least, we also explore the archives of Walter Pfeiffer and present selections of works by the painter Ferdinand Hodler and the photographer Karlheinz Weinberger. Willkommen in Zürich.
