There’s the combination of a hugely competitive market (one that needs very expensive content and production values), a small circulation and a product that’s entirely advertising funded (notwithstanding HRH’s few quid).

And I’d like to be fair and balanced and say that lots of top magazines have been launched by people with very little experience, but even so…“After completing a fashion history degree, Thomas-Ismond worked as a fashion assistant [intern]at Grazia … then became a buyer and merchandiser for Liberty.”
