Karlie Kloss, the American supermodel and serial entrepreneur, is making headlines again, this time for her acquisition of the iconic British fashion magazine i-D.
Announced on November 14, 2023, in what could be deemed as a significant move in the fashion industry, Kloss' Bedford Media acquired the magazine, saving the renowned publication from its bankruptcy-plagued parent company Vice Media.
i-D was founded in 1980 by Terry Jones and has been at the forefront of fashion and culture ever since. The magazine is known for its cutting-edge photography, its fearless coverage of emerging trends, and its celebration of diversity. Kloss is a long time fan of i-D and is excited to take the magazine to new heights. "I am so honoured to be the new owner of i-D," Kloss said in a statement. "i-D has always been a pioneer in fashion and culture, and I am committed to preserving its legacy while also taking it to new and exciting places."
Kloss a savvy businesswoman and supermodel, has had a proven track record of success in business. Not only is she the founder of 'Kode With Klossy', a non-profit organisation that teaches coding to girls, but she is also an investor in several other companies such as Rent The Runway and much more.
Once the deal comes to a close, Kloss will take up the role of chief executive officer as well as Bedford Media's chairwoman. i-D’s current editor-in-chief, Alastair McKimm, will become the brand’s chief creative officer and global editor-in-chief.
