Karlie’s extensive experience in the corporate realm is evident, having spearheaded a consortium of investors, including notable figures like Kaia Gerber and Lewis Hamilton, to acquire W magazine in 2020 under the stewardship of Bustle Media Group.
In this latest transaction, the reins are handed over to Bedford Media, Kloss’ parent company, which is set to assume the overarching leadership role for i-D Magazine. Karlie is poised to take on the mantle of both CEO of i-D and President of Bedford Media, asserting her influence in shaping the strategic trajectory of these enterprises. Simultaneously, Alastair McKimm, the current Editor-in-Chief of i-D, is poised to transition into the positions of Creative Director and Global Editor-in-Chief for the brand.
