Katie Grand may be one of the most in-demand names in fashion, but the multifaceted stylist and magazine editor prefers to downplay the significance of her role within the industry by describing herself as something of a facilitator.

“I think I’m probably more interesting to the designers I work with because I’m out and about, meeting people,” offers Grand in her friendly Brummie twang (though born in Leeds, she grew up in the West Midlands). “I mean, both Marc [Jacobs] and Miuccia [Prada] often say, ‘Who’s happening?’, ‘What should we do?’, ‘What music should we use?’. So I think it’s probably the most useful job I have.”
