After the closure of the print edition of ShortList,[when?] Shortlist Media rebranded as "The Stylist Group".[2]

Audience and content

[edit]

Stylist targets affluent 20 to 40-year-old female commuters with high end content that includes fashion, travel, beauty, people, and careers news.[1] The magazine aims to take an intelligent approach, covering a broader range of culture and tackling issues women face in their professional and personal lives.[3]

Stylist has featured Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie, Penélope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Aniston on the cover as well as Hillary Clinton, comedian Tina Fey, activist X González and classicist Mary Beard.[4] The magazine has commissioned children's author and illustrator Quentin Blake and artist Rob Ryan to create bespoke front covers.[5] The advertisers of the magazine have included Escada, Hugo Boss, Guerlain, and Yves Saint Laurent.[4]

Stylist hosts regular Stylist Network Events, including Stylist Live, which includes career-focused talks with business entrepreneurs, as well as curated shopping and fitness workouts, where an average of 200 Stylist readers buy tickets to attend the London-based sessions.[6]

Stylist is[when?] distributed free every month in London, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, and Birmingham, as well as in French Connection stores, airport lounges, city centre offices, and gyms.[1][needs update]

Stylist Magazine debuted online in September 2010.[citation needed]

Stylist began sending out "Stylist Loves", a daily newsletter with advice on work, fashion, beauty, and current events, in April 2019.[citation needed]
