I am incredibly excited to announce that I’m launching an independent biannual print magazine called Fiera with magCulture‘s Jeremy Leslie. It will cover the world’s design fairs, with a focus on new designers.

The Kickstarter campaign will be launching in the next few days, so watch this space for updates – and if you’re in London, I’d love to see you at our launch party.

Fiera launch invitation

RSVP here by Monday 23 June 2014.

    Congratulations on the launch of kick starter for fiera. This is a wonderful
    Idea. Here at the Great Northern Contenporary Craft Fair in Manchester we are passionate about giving new design talent subsidised platforms to sell their work and help develop their practise so having a mag dedicated to new designers is a fab idea. We’ll be subscribing! Good luck. X

    Well done Katie. You really do deserve this as you are just the best at what you do. I’ve been a designer for 30 years and there is never a time I have not learned something from your posts, as well as being introduced to fabulous new designers and makers. You show a true flair for interesting content and presentation. I will definitely be buying this and recommending it to others. You are in my top 10 must-read websites that I give out to all my students at Chelsea & CSM so onwards and upwards gal!
