Arabelle Sicardi’s essay collection THE HOUSE OF BEAUTY launched this week to great acclaim. Sicardi sat down for a Q&A with Ms. Magazine, discussing how “beauty is a labor issue,” and was a guest on the Trust Me podcast. Excerpts from the collection appeared in Allure and Business of Fashion. Sicardi has now embarked on a multi-city book tour that includes stops at Books are Magic in Brooklyn and “perfume swaps” in New York and LA. Norton published THE HOUSE OF BEAUTY on October 14, 2025.

Kim Willis’ NO FAIR MAIDENS was announced in The Bookseller this week, who reported the 11-way auction that preceded the sale. NO FAIR MAIDENS “recounts [Willis’] journey through the oldest mythologies of Great Britain, bringing magical heroines to the fore who restore our strength, wonder and connection to the place we call home.” Interviewed for the article, Willis said: “NO FAIR MAIDENS isn’t just a rejection of the false stories that suppress female power. It’s a rallying cry to all women, across the ages, who dare to live differently; offering us a mandala of wild heroines born of this soil, who together can guide our path and reawaken the spirit of the land. The fact we don’t know our own mythology tells us that some crime has occurred here. It’s time we shared that wisdom once again.” Doubleday UK will publish the book in 2026.
