EDITOR’S LETTER

Welcome to The Wick

— Katy Wickremesinghe
Hi All,

Lime bikes at the ready! London will be a melting pot of creativity and exhibitionism with London Fashion Week happenings and a slew of London Design Week activities next week. The fresh autumn weather (not to mention showers) means Burberry trench coats, Wales Bonner Adidas sneakers, little knit ensembles and lots of brown hues will be the uniform of choice for fashion folk on the go.

While magazines are having a hard time building revenue, Circle09 Media is to launch a second men’s publication in February 2025 entitled Sir! – edited by Elgar Johnson. Amongst the creative team are Robin Derrick, former art director of Vogue, and fashion director David Bradshaw who was behind Arena and Arena Homme + in the 1990s. The highly regarded editor, Ben Cobb, has meanwhile stepped down from the troubled ES magazine.

With best wishes from me and the KTW Family,
Katy
