10 Chic Citizens that Changed 2007: #5 Katie Grand Why her: The editor-in-chief of Pop magazine, Harper’s Bazaar contributor, and consultant and stylist for the likes of Prada, Miu Miu, Giles, Proenza Schouler, Luella Bartley, and Louis Vuitton has had a whirlwind year that’s flung her into fashion’s forefront. She was named creative director of Mulberry in August, set to replace Stuart Vevers who’s leaving to helm Loewe–and she turned down the position before even starting the job. In addition, Grand was tapped as curator of a Product (RED) project for Gap in Europe, in honor of World AIDS Day. She’s also BFF with a veritable who’s who on the British fashion circuit: Agyness, Giles, Luella… Our favorite moments: Every time she wears those Mickey Mouse ears. We’re also obsessed with her Gap pieces–Grand worked with the likes of Proenza Schouler, Giles, Pierre Hardy, Henry Holland, Charlotte Tilbury, Calvin Klein, Stephen Jones, and Mulberry to create a collection of super stylish, wearable, and coveted pieces that we’ve been begging friends across the Atlantic to snag up for us. What’s next: Although Grand turned down creative directorship of Mulberry, she will be staying on as a creative consultant for the brand. Also, stay tuned for more of her styling prowess to show up on catwalks this February!
