Kate Reardon has resigned from her role as editor of Tatler after seven successful years. The news was announced today (4 December) by Albert Read, Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain. 

Kate is one of Britain’s most experienced magazine editors. She began her career as a 19-year-old fashion assistant at American Vogue, and at 21 was made the fashion director of Tatler – the youngest ever at Condé Nast. Kate was a founding advisory board member of Net-a-Porter, has written three separate columns for The Times, who named her one of Britain’s best writers, and spent a decade as a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. In 2007 Kate founded the women’s community site, TopTips.com. The business, which was well ahead of its time with a user-generated content model, was a multi-platform success - generating a column in the Daily Mail, a weekly slot on ITV breakfast television and two bestselling books. In 2011 she returned to Tatler as editor. 

Deputy editor, Gavanndra Hodge, will oversee the title in the interim and a successor will be announced in the New Year. Kate will share news of her new venture shortly.
