Within less than a year of being appointed editor in chief, Kate Reardon’s The Times’ LUXX magazine won the News Awards Magazine of the Year. Her unparalleled insight into the lives and desires of her readers makes her one of the most exciting and effective champions of luxury publishing in the world. Kate began her career as a 19-year-old fashion assistant at American Vogue, and at 21 she was made the Fashion Director of Tatler – the youngest ever at Condé Nast. Kate remained at Tatler for seven years before becoming a founding advisory board member of Net-a-Porter.com. She wrote three separate columns for The Times, who named her one of Britain’s best writers, and spent a decade as a Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair. In 2011 she returned to Tatler as editor in chief and resigned in December 2017. Such was the success of her tenure that in 2014, BBC2 broadcast a 3-part documentary, Posh People, Inside Tatler, featuring Kate and other staff members. The series has been viewed by an audience of more than 6 million. This year she won The British Society of Magazine Editor’s Editor of the Year award.
