Condé Nast announces the launch of a new style magazine, as yet unnamed, in Britain.

The magazine will be published twice a year and the first issue will arrive on newsstand in March 2009. Katie Grand has been appointed Editor.

Produced in a bespoke size, slightly larger than most monthlies, the magazine will be edgy and experimental, an exciting new entry into the style sector. It will be produced to the highest editorial and production standards.

Nicholas Coleridge, Managing Director of Condé Nast, comments It is a new departure for Condé Nast UK to publish an edgy, high-end style title in this sector, and in Katie Grand we have the perfect Editor who brings the perfect team. This promises to be a very exciting launch.

Katie Grand was formerly Editor-in-Chief of POP, the fashion and art magazine she launched in 2000. Prior to that Grand worked on the launch of Dazed & Confused, and later moved to The Face where she remained until 2001. Katie Grand also works as a stylist and as a consultant with brands such as Louis Vuitton, Loewe and Giles Deacon among others.

Katie Grand comments “I'm really looking forward to building up a new magazine from scratch again - a fresh start is always fun, and we have lots of ideas we can't wait to start working on. And it's really exciting to be working with Condé Nast, who publish some of the most important fashion magazines in the world.”

Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman of Condé Nast International adds I've admired Katie Grand and her work for many years. It's terrific that she's creating a new magazine for Condé Nast.

There will be a further announcement revealing the name of the new magazine at a later date.
