Beauty Papers / special issue 2015-2025

A silver gilt edged volume celebrating Bauty Papers 'Hollywood' and a decade in print.

The new issue is a gloriously irrelevant yet affectionate journey into Hollywood.

The myths, the legends, the names and the unknowns are observed, undone and reimagined. 

Without Hollywood and the silver screen the idea of superstardom, 'fame' and celebrity, would not exist as it does today - an all pervading presence in everyday life.

This issue explores celebrity through the artists themselves as much as the Hollywood legends it references or features.

Quietly drawing parallels and exposing poignancies, this issue is for all its fearlessness a romantic adventure honoring the lives of the good and the greats of the silver screen.
