Super-stylist Katie Grand is fashion’s contemporary heroine. This book is a visual history of her fearless career and looks to the future as she embarks on her new venture, The Perfect Magazine. Influential, visionary, daring, cool: Katie Grand has been setting fashion’s agenda for close to 25 years. Her career trajectory begs the question: Is there anything Grand can’t do? The gap-toothed former editor in chief of the era-defining English glossy LOVE, Grand has worked with and styled for the coolest brands and magazines of note. In this exceptional volume devoted to a career of singular moments that have redrawn the bound-aries of style—including pivotal editorials, magazine covers, advertising campaigns, runway, and private ephemera—Grand mines her rich past and tells us the story, in words and pictures, of her early rock ‘n’ roll years at The Face and Pop to becoming a key player on the global fashion stage to championing what were to become some of the biggest names in fashion (Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner). She gives us behind-the-scenes access to the stories and scandals behind some of contemporary fashion’s most provocative photos.

Katie Minerva is a little girl growing up in the mystical town of Sumneytown in the late 1800s. She is kind and loving, with a curious nature and she is different from other girls her age.
