The 2025 Booktique Awards: An Evening Celebrating Visual Storytelling
On September 18, 2025, the glamorous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood hosted the prestigious Booktique Awards Party. This year, the spotlight shone brightly on exceptional works in the realm of coffee table books, attended by an impressive array of celebrities and industry luminaries. Co-hosted by fashion icons Joe Zee, Clare Vivier, and Lawren Howell, the event proved to be a mesmerizing celebration of creativity and inspiration.
The Booktique Awards, established in 2022, aims to highlight the art of illustrated nonfiction and is hailed as a significant event in the publishing calendar. With over thirteen books recognized across various categories—including art, design, fashion, and nature—it's clear that the event is a cornerstone for acknowledging the creativity infused into contemporary publishing.
The winners of the night included standout titles like "Camo" by Thandiwe Muriu and "The Flowers of Yves Saint Laurent," edited by Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, all brilliantly showcased around the venue. Each winning book was thoughtfully illuminated and adorned with custom floral arrangements, ensuring they were the focal point of the evening.
As guests sipped on cocktails and enjoyed delectable hors d'oeuvres, the ambiance was heightened by a live piano performance. Over one hundred attendees, including stars like Walton Goggins and Ever Carradine, mingled and cast their votes for the coveted Book of the Night Award, which will be announced on Booktique.com on October 1, 2025.

She remarked, “Coffee table books beautify our lives in so many ways. They are portals to self-discovery and luxurious antidotes to our screen-filled days.”
