Violet magazine isn’t just a fashion magazine. It’s a place to discover and grow, to learn from and to celebrate each other. The writing will be an on-going dialogue between iconic women and notables of fashion, cinema and art.

The quality of the writing and imagery will allow for a unique engagement with its readership of established professional women.

Violet, a natural progression for Leith Clark’s team, celebrates women, their curiosity, femininity, and style.

Uniting internationally established women in the fashion and creative communities, Violet magazine invites the most talented and highly sought-after female photographers, stylists, editors, artists and writers in the world to collaborate and make each issue of Violet a landmark.

“It’s peculiar in the most beautiful way.” -KAREN ELSON

In this issue:

Cat Power

Cats – answering only to themselves, loving only whom they choose, roaming, watchful, adept at making seemingly impossible leaps, soft-footed yet claw-tipped – have been alternatively reviled and worshipped for millennia.

Historically the companion of witches, single women and crones – a byword for female sexual anatomy – cats are powerful and political and difficult to pin down.

No wonder weak men fear them and women have long aligned with them. Autonomous creatures have always been a threat to the patriarchy. Gloria Steinem’s advice to young girls at a women’s conference in 2017 was to act like a cat. “Cats don’t let you touch them. Cats tell you what they’re going to do, and that’s that.”

In a world where a former president can ‘Grab ‘em by the pussy’ without consequence, where a politician can decry a ‘childless cat lady’ as if it is an insult, we at Violet will continue celebrating our independence and nurturing our shared connection to our fellow animals, to nature, to each other. This is where true power lies.
