History

[edit]

Dossier was launched by Skye Parrott and Katherine Krause in 2008[3] with a team that included managing editor Erin Dixon and executive creative director Alex Wiederin.

In April 2009, Dossier opened a concept store on DeKalb Avenue in Brooklyn, New York,[4] Dossier Shop, a collaboration between the founders and Molly McIver[1] In May 2011, Barnes & Noble censored an issue of Dossier Journal because its front cover featured androgynous model Andrej Pejic partially nude.[5] In 2014, Dossier did a takeover of the South Street Seaport neighborhood, curating a rotation of shops and programming for the summer[6]. In September 2014, Dossier Journal launched a pop-up retail store in New York with Etsy.[7]

In 2024, Dossier Magazine relaunched as a travel and culture publication, publishing a biannual print magazine and weekly newsletter. [2]
