She has been a publishing fairytale for more then a decade and has done it again- Katie Grand is behind the new style bible LOVE set to launch February 19th.
Katie Grands career started when she launched Dazed and Confused back in 1992 with fellow University of the Arts London students Rankin Waddell and Jefferson Hack. Katie Grand was a part of the new and more edgy fashion magazine world that combined art and broke the sexual borders- like her own POP Magazine launched in 2000.
Katies’ LOVE will be published by Conde Nast which currently is recognised as the most powerful publishing house devoted to fashion. Conde Nast that tried to buy POP from Bauer will finally have its own high end fashion magazine. The media empire that also publishes Vouge and GQ said that LOVE will “be larger than most monthlies,” and that it will be “edgy and exciting.”
LOVE’s Launch party was held in December 2008 and was well stacked with celebrities like Henry Holland, Agyness Deyn and Giles Deacon to name a few.
If being a publishing extra ordinaire wasn’t enough Katie is one of the fashion worlds most wanted stylists- and is rumoured to earn between £3.000-4.000 daily working for fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Loewe.
Not only is POP loosing Katie to LOVE, she is taking people with her as she goes, like former creative directors Stuart Spalding and Lee Swillingham, former senior editor Murray Healy and former senior fashion editor Tim Clifton-Green all planned to take the same positions at LOVE.
