Katie Grand Splits Her Love EIC Duties (Business of Fashion)
Ben Cobb, the former editor-in-chief of AnOther Man is joining Katie Grand as co-EIC at LOVE. “Biannuals are so big now that you can’t have just one opinion anymore,” Grand tells Business of Fashion. “It gets to the point where it is so boring doing it on your own. Who wants 400 pages of one voice?”
Cobb’s title will be Editor-in-Chief (Men), suggesting he will infuse the magazine with his knowledge and authority on menswear. “I did a lot of men’s shows, and did far more work on them than I did on women’s shows because I always felt out of my depth. I’d arrive with masses of research,” Grand mused. “I think there’s that thing with women stylists doing men’s shows. It does look like a load of girls looking at men. I do like looking at them, but you can’t beat a man’s point of view. And Ben’s is infinitely better than mine on menswear. I think it’s good to have an expert.”

Stella McCartney is partnering with the Italian manufacturer Candiani on the world’s first biodegradable stretch denim. Part of her Fall 2020 collection, the denim is made entirely with plant-based materials — including natural rubber — and is free from plastics and micro-plastics. This means that the jeans are eco-friendly without losing any elasticity. The pieces will be available in stores on online in May.
