I-D appoints US fashion director

Fashion publication i-d Magazine has undergone radical changes since its takeover by Vice

media in a bid to become a global brand. The print publication, who's roots lie firmly in the British creative arena, have appointed a New York fashion director, Mr Alastair McKimm.

McKimm's appointment adds to the company's view to expand i-D's editorial voice to a global audience.

Following the publication's digital relaunch, i-D integrated with Vice Media last year.

Vice is an international media group focused on fashion, arts, culture, and news topics. Founded in 1994 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, it later expanded with divisions including the magazine, a website, a film production company, a record label, and a publishing imprint.
