Launched in 2014, Violet Book is a glossy fashion and culture biannual celebrating women’s stories and wisdom. Weaving together empowering tales of female autonomy and motherhood, neither of which are mutually exclusive, this 23rd issue for Summer 2025 features two generations of acclaimed auteurs on the cover: Agnès Varda, the ‘godmother of the French New Wave’, and Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of Hollywood royalty staking claim to a distinctly 21st century style of her own. Inside, Agnès’ daughter Rosalie speaks with Jennifer Higgie about her extraordinary childhood, reflecting on her mother’s life and legacy; Gia reunites with friend and colleague Jamie Lee Curtis to contemplate the complexities of motherhood, following the premiere of The Last Showgirl; plus, multi-award winning Australian director Shannon Murphy sits down with Michelle Williams to discuss the ‘special connection between single mothers and their daughters’. violet-book.com
