i-D Magazine Appoints Thom Bettridge Editor in Chief​

The iconic British title owned by Karlie Kloss is set to resume print on a bi-annual cadence under Bettridge, formerly creative vice president of Ssense.

i-D magazine is set to resume publication with Thom Bettridge as editor-in-chief and chief brand officer, publisher Bedford Media said in a statement.
The magazine will return to print on a bi-annual basis in March 2025 after suspending publication earlier this year. A reduced frequency (the magazine was previously bi-monthly) is intended “to make room for additional print concepts and multi-platform projects,” Bedford said.
Bettridge, who was most recently online retailer Ssense’s vice president of creative content, previously held editorial roles at 032c, Interview and Highsnobiety, where he was editor-in-chief. Bettridge will “oversee all aspects of creative, editorial, and brand for i-D.”
Bettridge’s appointment follows similar moves at other titles to elevate editors with experience blending commerce and media. In August, another alum of the publisher, e-tailer and consultancy Highsnobiety, Willa Bennett, was named editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.


“No one embodies the future of i-D more than Thom,” Kloss said in a statement, “His creative instinct and cultural fluency make him the ideal person to chart the magazine’s next chapter.”
Bettridge succeeds Alastair McKimm, who exited the company in February following model-investor Kloss’ deal to acquire the British magazine through her company Bedford Media.
Eight staff members in i-D’s editorial and social media were laid off, and the publication went quiet for six months.
A couple of weeks ago, i-D’s website relaunched with a digital cover featuring Charli XCX and Troye Sivan, shot by fashion designer Eli Russell Linnetz.
Bedford is also working on the relaunch of Life magazine.

Vogue Man Netherlands has relaunched

After five years, Vogue Man is back in the Netherlands. That was a bit like that last year, as a special in the October issue. But now like a self-standing magazine with its own cover, a dedicated team and new energy. Energy that was taken from Paris. “After years of wandering around the fashion weeks for women, I have also been a regular visitor to the men's shows for a while”, says Vogue editor-in-chief Linda Gümüs Gerritsen in her editorial. “Paris then sparkles and buzzes even more than usual. A creative bubble, with a presentation or party on almost every corner of the street, and Parisians actually having a chat with the international fashion crowd. A very different, freer atmosphere than during the ready-to-wear shows for women.”

With this Vogue Man we want to put the same energy, with a lot of fashion but above all a lot of fun. Think of cool outfits with a leading role for denim and good accessories, and men with taste, captured in their own authentic style. For example, cover star Yaw Tiëku Appiah created his looks according to the latest trends, DI-RECT guitarist Frans 'Spike' van Zoest took us into his own wardrobe and model Louis Baines shows his soft side in beautiful pastels.
