Violet — Issue 23 / The Las Vegas Issue

Violet — Issue 23 / The Las Vegas Issue

Issue 23 of Violet is built around Gia Coppola's portrait of Las Vegas showgirls in slow decline — Pamela Anderson plays Shelly, a luminous echo of a vanishing world; Jamie Lee Curtis plays Annette, a fellow performer turned cocktail waitress. The two appear in conversation across the issue, reflecting on the film's themes of authority, motherhood and remaining whole in a fraying industry.

Violet's bi-annual schedule and editorial restraint make it one of the steadier fashion-and-culture biannuals — closer in feel to a journal than a glossy, and built around portraiture, interview and visual narrative as the carriers of meaning. UK cover price £8.
