- Summary:
- "The best of the first 3 issues of Velour: The Drag Magazine. Since its very first issue in 2014 (as a stapled zine called 'VYM'), Velour has been dedicated to celebrating the fabulous world of drag through visual art, poetry, and interviews. The pieces collected in this book are as varied and valid as the drag artists they depict. Velour insists that there is no 'right way' to do, or even to define drag. We seek to celebrate it all..."-- Back cover.
- "At 300 pages, entirely ad-free, Velour: The Drag Magazine [Collector's Edition] is as much an art book as a magazine. Designed by Velour in her signature style, it features illustrations, collages, fashion editorials, poems, interviews, and essays by over 75 queer artists and drag performers from around the world. Since it's inception in 2013, the magazine has been dedicated to showcasing the work of drag queens and drag kings, queer, trans, AFAB, and non-binary drag artists from all backgrounds. This new collector's edition, which compiles all 3 issues of Velour for the first time, showcases House of Velour's dedication to celebrating every drag artist who dares to create work that pushes boundaries in both queer and mainstream culture. Now larger and in hardback form, the compiled issues of Velour are a comprehensive study of the complex and varied nature and vision of drag today.
