Kitty McGee

Executive fashion director It’s safe to say that when you hear what Kitty does for a living, the phrase ‘dream job’ will immediately spring to mind. As Stylist’s executive fashion director, she is at the forefront of the industry, attending the most exclusive shows at the ‘big four’ fashion weeks and seeing new collections at their first reveal. In the last year alone, she has flown to countless designer destinations, including LA, New York, Milan and Paris, in pursuit of fashion’s most compelling stories.

Kitty’s sartorial love affair began the minute she was old enough to start dressing herself. Having found a creative outlet she loved, she started her career in the press office of the British Fashion Council. It was here that she got to see her first fashion runway show – Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto exhibiting back to back. She was instantly sold on the industry and knew she wouldn’t want to do anything else. After a stint in the Selfridges press office, she made the transition to journalism, joining the Stylist team in 2012 as a fashion editor and gradually working her way up. This was the most arduous time in her career, filled with 7am starts and 2am finishes, and many weekends spent working as she pursued her passion to land her dream role.

Now, as executive fashion director of one of the UK’s most widely read women’s magazines, Kitty is a regular at the British Fashion Awards – the most prestigious in the business – and can count dancing on stage with Pharrell at the Calvin Klein after-party during a rainy New York Fashion Week among one of her many career highlights.
